The Hradčany Monastery of the Discalced Carmelites is located just a few steps from the Prague Castle

It used to be a home to the discalced carmelite sisters who lived here in a contemplative way in papal encloser. In 2020 the sisters moved from the city center to a calmer location in the outskirts of Prague. Their brothers from the Order of the Discalced Carmelites took over the care of the Hradčany Monastery and decided to open it for public.

The religious community uses a small part of the convent. The major part of the monastery is called Fortna ("the gate"), and is open for spiritual, educational and cultural events and to all those who want to just spend some time in a place with a strong story and a unique and unforgettable genius loci. The bonus is the breathtaking view of Prague from the monastery terrace.
