Brewery and mead fermentation facility

The renovated and newly created museum exhibitions are complemented by the monastery brewery and mead fermentation facility—two traditional functions that once formed an integral part of monastery life.

A unique feature of these facilities is the opportunity to take guided tours of the production areas where beer and mead are made. The aim is to recreate the historic production process as faithfully as possible.

Although modern production and hygiene standards are far stricter than they were in the past, preserved local recipes make it possible to recreate the flavours and aromas that the monks themselves would have known and enjoyed.

Once production is fully operational, the monastery beer and mead will be available for purchase both at the local tavern “Under the Linden Trees” and in the museum shop, Brother Cyprian’s Pharmacy.

Časová os

  • Original state - ground floor E

    This is the way the ground floor looked like in the premises E at the end of 2019. In the future, it will accommodate the brewery and the mead fermentation facility.

     

  • We started right away at the beginning of 2020.

    Everything had been removed – floors, nets, tiles even the plaster.

  • The exhibition in the second courtyard.

    Once we could re-open the museum after anti-pandemic measures, we put up a small exhibition in the second courtyard presenting future design of the new brewery.
