For visitors

"I wish that your visit to Strahov brings you joy both physically and spiritually, that you allow yourself to be inspired by the spirituality, beauty, and art, and invite God's grace to touch your heart."

(Daniel Peter Janáček, Abbot of Strahov)

The extent of the Strahov complex, as well as its complex architectural-historical development, is evidenced by the layout of the monastery complex as we can observe it in aerial photographs.
