Vyšší Brod Monastery (IPA: [ˈvɪʃiː ˈbrot]; Czech: Vyšebrodský klášter) or Hohenfurth Abbey (German: Abtei Hohenfurth) is a Catholic monastery in the Czech Republic.

Description

[edit]

As one of the most important historical landmarks of South Bohemia, the monastery is recognized as a cultural monument by the Ministry of Culture.[3]

The Cistercian monastery is located on the right bank of the river Vltava, in the south-west part of the town of Vyšší Brod. It was founded in 1259. Leopold Wackarž was formerly the abbot.

The Mass is celebrated exclusively according to the 1962 edition of the Roman Missal (Traditional Latin Mass) with Cistercian propers.[4][5]

It also houses a branch of the Prague Postal Museum.[6]
