Convent of St Agnes of Bohema
St Agnes of Bohemia Convent (together with neighbouring St Francis Church) is the oldest Gothic building and one of the most famous and significant convents in Bohemia. Now it’s the National Culture Heritage of the Czech Republic.
St Agnes of Bohemia Convent is a complex of two main buildings – the convent of Poor Clares and a small Franciscan monastery. You can find there also St Francis Church, the Chapel of St Mary Magdalene, St Agnes’s private oratory, St Barbora’s Chapel and Premyslid’s mausoleum of Holy Saviour. St Agnes of Bohemia Convent is situated in the Old Town in the centre of Prague.
History
The convent and the church were built between 1231-34. The first women came to the convent in autumn 1233 – five nuns from Italian Assisi and seven Bohemian noblegirls. They belonged to the Poor Clares (also called The Order of Poor Ladies) founded by Saints Clare of Assisi and Francis of Assisi in 1212 on Franciscan principles. In 1234 St Agnes of Bohemia, the daughter of Bohemian king Premysl Otakar I, entered the convent and became its abbess. The king Wenceslas I. and later on the Pope, took the convent under their protection and gave it many previleges. At that time, the convent was of the most modern buildings in Prague.
The nuns left the convent during the Hussite’s movement. The convent, as many others, was abolished in 1782 and since then the building decayed. If it hadn’t been for the union for the renovation of the convent, the complex would have been demolished. The renovation works have given the convent its original look.
histoire
Le couvent et l'église ont été construits entre 1231 à 1234. Les premières femmes sont venus au couvent à l'automne 1233 - cinq religieuses de l'italien Assise et sept noblegirls Bohême. Ils appartenaient à des Clarisses (également appelé Ordre du Pauvre Mesdames) fondées par Saints Claire d'Assise et François d'Assise en 1212 sur des principes franciscains. En 1234 St Agnès de Bohême, la fille du roi de Bohême Přemysl Otakar Ier, est entrée au couvent et devint abbesse. Le roi Venceslas Ier et plus tard sur le pape, a pris le couvent sous leur protection et lui a donné de nombreux previleges. A cette époque, le couvent était des bâtiments les plus modernes à Prague.
Les religieuses ont quitté le couvent pendant le mouvement de la hussite. Le couvent, comme beaucoup d'autres, a été aboli en 1782 et depuis lors, le bâtiment délabré. Si ce ne avait été de l'Union pour la rénovation du couvent, le complexe aurait été démoli. Les travaux de rénovation ont donné le couvent son look original.

Agnes of Bohemia, O.S.C., (Czech: Svatá Anežka Česká, 20 June 1211 – 2 March 1282), also known as Agnes of Prague, was a medieval Bohemian princess who opted for a life of charity, mortification of the flesh and piety over a life of luxury and comfort. Although she was venerated soon after her death, Agnes was not beatified or canonized for over 700 years.
Saint Agnes of Bohemia
Foundress of the Institute of the Sisters of the Company of the Cross.
Born on 30 January 1846 in Seville, Spain, and given the baptismal name Maria of the Angels Guerrero Gonzalez, the future saint was affectionately known as Angelita. Her father worked as a cook in the convent of the Trinitarian Fathers, where her mother also worked in the laundry. They had 14 children, with only six reaching adulthood.
Angelita was greatly influenced by the teaching and example of her pious parents, and was taught from an early age how to pray the Rosary. She could often be found in the parish church praying before the image of Our Lady of Good Health, while her mother prepared a nearby altar. In their own home, a simple altar was erected in honour of the Virgin Mary during the month of May, where the family would recite the Rosary and give special honour to Our Lady.
The Sun: Dawn at the Graveyard of the Ancestors // The Convent of Saint Agnes, Prague, LIVE
Prague’s psychedelic four-piece Olaf Olafsonn and the Big Bad Trip, known for their masked stage appearance, are about to release their first full-length album: a magnificent double LP called The Feathers of Oblivion.
The band first came up with the concept of Feathers in late 2016. The initial idea was to record four mini albums under the open sky at the top of Budeč hill in Central Bohemia, in the ruins of the 10th century Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary. The main goal was to capture the spirit of the place in the liminal moments of the year together with music composed for each season, so all four minialbums were recorded on the solstices and equinoxes of 2017.

Bethlehem Chapel ,Prague
It was founded in 1391 by Wenceslas Kriz (known as 'the Merchant'), and John of Milheim, and taught solely in the Czech vernacular, thus breaking with German domination of the Medieval Bohemian church. The building was never officially called a church, only a chapel, though it could contain 3,000 people; indeed, the chapel encroached upon the parish of Sts. Philip and James, and John of Milheim paid the pastor of that church 90 grossi as compensation. Hus became a rector and a preacher in March 1402. After Hus's excommunication in 1412, the Pope ordered the Bethlehem chapel to be pulled down, although this action was rejected by the Czech majority on the Old Town council. After Hus's death, he was succeeded by Jacob of Mies.
Chapelle privée, l’histoire de la chapelle de Bethléem est étroitement liée à celle de l’Université Charles de Prague. C’est, en effet, à partir de 1402 que Jan Hus devient à la fois recteur de l’université Charles et le prêcheur attitré de la chapelle de Bethléem. Sophie de Bavière, l'épouse du roi Venceslas IV vient régulièrement l'écouter.
Quand, en 1622, un décret impérial modifie l'intégralité du système éducatif en Bohême, Moravie et Silésie à la Compagnie de Jésus, la chapelle (comme l'université pragoise) passe entre les mains des jésuites qui y reprennent les offices.
En 1786, ce haut-lieu de la résistance tchèque à l'impérialisme allemand et du « protestantisme tchèque » contre l'Église catholique, est désacralisé puis détruit sur ordre impérial (prétextant un état proche de la ruine). Ayant servi d'entrepôt de bois, l’emplacement est édifié, en 1836, pour être occupé par une maison de rapport.
