The Monastery of the Premonstratensian Order at Strahov also consists of the Church of Our Lady and the building of Strahov Library with the 17th-century Theological Hall and the 18th-century Philosophical Hall.
The 1st monastery was founded here in the 12th century. This is where the educated and pilgrims used to come. In front of the monastery there were the guards, thus the name (‘strahovat’ = guards).
The library houses a lot of old and historically valuable manuscripts, like the 10th-century Gospel Book.
