Strahov's theological library, designed by the architect G.-D. Orsi (1671-1679), contains more than 16,000 volumes under vaults decorated with frescoes and stuccoes that praise studies and books. The philosophical room, by I.-J. Palliardi, is much more classical (a century apart) and was designed with pre-existing furniture in mind. The famous ceiling fresco, which illustrates the history of mankind, is the last work of F. Maulbertsch.

La salle principale est un petit bijou tellement elle est magnifique!! Une seule envie une fois sur place: allez ouvrir tous les livres 1 par 1... Mais on ne peut pas y accéder. Juste passer et prendre des photos...... si on a payer un supplément...
Comme quoi prendre une photo revient cher!!!

Visit the library has 100kc person + 50kc to take photos. Very fast visit in 3 rooms. You can enter the rooms. An explanatory text is given to you at the entrance. From the monastery you can reach the tower of Kneader with a stroll where you can have magnificent views.

Tant de livres qu'une vie n'y suffirait pas. Cette bibliothèque est magnifique, parfaitement conservée. Deux salles qui se voient mais dans lesquelles on n'entre pas. Vaut quand même le détour, malgré une somme à payer pour un droit aux photos..
