History

Fundata anno 993 a S.Adalberto Episc. Pragensi et Boleslao II, Bohemiae Duce. Monachi, olim quidem in pluribus coenobiis degentes, inde a saeculo XIX, in Brevnoviensi et Braunensi monasteriis tamquam "Abbatia de Břevnov" existebant. Anno 1939 utrumque monasterium abbatia sui iuris declaratum est. Post suppressionem ab auctoritate civili anno 1950 monachi dispersi sunt. Iterum recognita anno 1990. 10 feb. 1993 in dignitatem et titulum Archiabbatiae elevata est.
