Nový Dvůr Monastery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Monastery of Nový Dvůr is the only monastery of the Trappist Order in the Czech Republic, located near Toužim in the Karlovy Vary Region, close to the Premonstratensian monastery of Teplá.
The monastery originated from a dilapidated Baroque farm (Nový Dvůr means literally "the New Farm"), that was was partially reconstructed and mostly replaced by a new construction according to a project of British architect John Pawson. It was established in August 2002 as a daughter house of the Sept-Fons Abbey, France. In September 2004 the monastery church was dedicated to Our Lady.
