Franciscan Monastery in Kadaň

Kadaň, Italy

The Franciscan Monastery (Czech: Františkánský klášter) lies on the edge of the town of Kadaň, Czech Republic and near the river Ohře. Its history dates back to the 15th century. It is now the seat of the Municipal Museum of Kadaň with an exposition of life in a monastery. The church's dedication to

the Fourteen Holy Helpers shows the connection to then popular German shrines of the same cult. Around the building are monastery gardens with a vineyard and a French garden. The monastery was ranked among the national cultural monuments by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic in 1995. The monastery faces the Úhošť hill on the opposite slope of the Ohře valley.
