St. Agnes Cloister

St Agnes of Bohemia Convent is a complex of two main buildings – the convent of Poor Clares and a small Franciscan monastery. Within the complex there is also St. Francis Church, the Chapel of St. Mary Magdalene, St. Agnes’s private oratory, St. Barbora’s Chapel and Premyslid’s mausoleum of the Holy Savior. St. Agnes of Bohemia Convent is situated directly in the Old Town in the center of Prague and a magnificent historical venue in Prague.

The venue’s main event area, the Church of St. Francis, can host up to 250 guests in both banquet and theatre-style arrangements. The refectory is ideal for intimate receptions, accommodating up to 120 people. The cloister’s ambits, perfect for cocktail events, allow for 200 guests, while the serene garden provides a picturesque backdrop for up to 400 attendees, making it suitable for both corporate and private gatherings.

Legend said that the Clarisse’s used to make an elixir called swallow water from an old recipe they got from a poor Polish noblewoman. The nuns sold the elixir to people for a symbolic price or they gave it to them for free. After the convent was abolished, one nun only knew the secret recipe. Unfortunately, she never revealed the secret to anybody else and it died with her. No one was ever successful to make the elixir again.

And if you’re hoping to find a drop of the legendary elixir once crafted by the Poor Clares nuns… well, we’re good at planning, but we’re not miracle workers.

St Agnes of Bohemia Convent is now in possession of the National Gallery in Prague. Today this historical venue in Prague, is amongst one of the most beautiful and awe inspiring spaces available for hire. Contact us.
