The Kladruby village was founded together with the Kladruby Monastery in 1115. Around 1233, a new royal town was founded by Wenceslaus I of Bohemia.[2]

Sights

The Kladruby Monastery is a large Benedictine monastery founded in 1115 by Vladislaus I, Duke of Bohemia. Its vast late Baroque Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary (by architect Jan Santini Aichel) attests to the secular power and wealth of the monastery, which was dissolved under the regime of Joseph II.[4]
