Church Interior
Originally the
church had a
wooden ceiling.
In 1424 it was
replaced with a
network vault,
which stands in
stark contrast to
the plain walls.

. Mourning
This Gothic relief, made in around
1390 in the Parler family workshop,
was part of an altar, which no
longer exists. Today, it can be
seen on the chancel in the
monastery’s choir.

. Stalls
Richly decorated with carved
ornaments, the late-Gothic stalls
date from around 1450.
