Strahov Library


A must visit place in Prague


The library located within the Premonstratensian monastery at Strahov is a treasure trove of knowledge and history, boasting an impressive collection of around 200,000 volumes. The Baroque Theological Hall, dating back to 1671-1674, stands as the oldest section of the library, while the main Classicist vaults of the Philosophical Hall, constructed in 1794, reach a height of two storeys. Adorned by exquisite ceiling frescoes by Siard Nosecký and Anton Maulbertsch, both halls offer a stunning visual experience to visitors.
