Goldenkron: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
The Cistercian Monastery of Zlatá Koruna was founded in 1263 thanks to the Bohemian King Přemysl Otakar II. It is considered one of the most valuable complexes of Gothic architecture in Central Europe; the historic town centre is also a protected heritage zone.
Culture
The Baroque monastery pharmacy is displayed in the former kitchen and comprises more than 1,000 pharmacy vessels, laboratory glassware and herbal medicines. The Zlatokorunská Madonna was painted between 1410 and 1420 and was probably commissioned directly for the Cistercian Monastery in Zlatá Koruna.
