The monastery church of St. Vojtěch was first mentioned in 1357, likely marking the completion of the Gothic two-nave structure with a chancel and two towers.
Founded by Abbot Martin I between 1253 and 1294, the church was built in the Cistercian-Burgundian style, a blend of Romanesque and Gothic known as “Přemyslid Gothic.”
The current construction of the church began in 1709 under Abbot Otmar Zinke, but it was not completed until 1743 under the leadership of Abbot Benno Löbl.
The original wooden church in Vižňov is mentioned in the earliest sources as early as the first half of the 14th century. The construction of the present Church of St. Anne began in 1724 and was fully completed four years later.
