Description:
Digital image of Emmaus monastery was established in 1347 under Charles IV with an invitation to Dalmatian Benedictines to establish a house and seminary in Prague. Its most famous student is Jan Hus who studied in the seminary here. Johannes Kepler lived here while he was in Prague. During communism this church was closed, but is now reopened and re-established under Benedictines. Fragments of Gothic frescoes by Masters Theodoric and Master Mikulas Wurmser decorate the interior of church. They also did the frescoes in Karlstejn. The double steeple was added after bombardment destroyed the earlier tower. Reconstruction was done by Bedrich Hacan and Frantisek Cerny. The building has housed both a Benedictine and Hussite seminary reflecting religious heritage of Czech Republic.
