Carthusian Monastery
and Roman Catholic Parish, Královo Pole

Only one of two surviving Carthusian monasteries in the Czechlands, and the only one in Moravia, this monastery was founded by the brother of King Charles the fourth and his two sons. This brother, Jan Jindrich, chose Brno as the seat of his residence, and bought land in the nearby village of Královo Pole, which he donated to the Carthusian order of monks. Construction of the monastery began with the Church of the Holy Trinity (Cella Trinitatis, in the picture left) in 1375, and quickly expanded into a large complex of buildings. The Front Wing on Bozetechová Street (photo below right)dates from the second half of the 17th century, making it one of the newest parts of the monastery. It is in this building, by the staircase off the main hall, that the Carthusian Dance of Death can be found.

Unfortunately, I have no details about the painting of this Dance, which is a pity, as it is a rather unique picture. It shows Death (or rather, Deaths) killing Carthusian monks while they fervently read their prayer books. I must wonder if it represents a specific historical event, such as the attack on the Carthusian monasteries by the Hussites in the 15th century, or if it is a political statement, referring to the closure of the monasteries by Joseph II in 1782. Whatever the origin, it's a wonderful example of the traditional Dance of Death. Other interesting points of the monastery were an observatory tower and a network of underground passages connecting all the buildings. Today, part of the monastery is still owned by the Catholic Church, while the rest, including the Front Wing, is owned by the Brno University of Technology.
