Hradisko Monastery

Today's monastery estate is often referred to as the Haná Escorial because of its floor layout. The large complex occupies an area of more than one hectare. The four-winged building with a rectangular platform, with corner towers and a moat, is divided by an inner lateral wing into two parts - the Convent and the Prelature. While the northern part of the monastery was built in the spirit of Italian Mannerism, the Prelature building is High Baroque. The monumental front face of the Prelature is adorned with sculptured architectural decoration and a portal with columns and a balcony. On the upper floor of the Prelature, there is a ceremonial hall. The leading Austrian painter Paul Troger contributed, along with others, to the inner decoration. Troger painted the monumental ceiling fresco on the theme of Christ’s Feeding of the 5000 in the year 1731. The fresco is surrounded by a painting of illusive architecture by Antonio Tassi. Equally significant is the painting and stucco decoration of the library’s vaults. The Italian painter Innocenzo Monti and the sculptor Baltassare Fontana worked together on it at the beginning of the 18th century.
