The Monastery gardens in Litomyšl

An oasis of peace and the arts

The sprawling Monastery gardens, sandwiched between two Litomyšl churches, are located in the vicinity of the castle. Discover the peace and grandeur of this place, with wonderful views over the dreamy city.

The gardens extend over more than one hectare on the hill above the city. But it's not only the view that you can admire. The main attraction is the garden itself, full of flowers, crowned by a gazebo and pool supplemented with a mist maker, from which the sculptures of Olbram Zoubek emerge. If you feel overcome, lie down for a moment on the lawn and enjoy the soothing atmosphere, to the sound of softly playing classical music.

The sublime atmosphere of the place is further enhanced by the two large churches, the newly renovated Church of the Discovery of St. Cross with rails in which elements of contemporary art are installed, and the Church of the Exaltation of St. Cross, whose history dates back to Emperor Charles IV. If you climb up to the lookout towers between the Church of the Discovery of St. Cross, you will have a beautiful view of the entire area of Castle hill.
