Restoration of the monastery in Šternberk
Pecháčková, Lucie ; Kocourek, Tomáš (referee) ; Guzdek, Adam (advisor)
The subject of the thesis is an architectural study of the restoration and new use of the historic building of the former monastery in Šternberk and the surrounding garden. The monastery is owned by the city, which is looking for a usage for it. The goal of the proposal is to give this monument a new life, i.e. to make it town‘s living part, which will have not only historical, but also contemporary social significance. And thanks to this, it also will have the means for its maintenance and preservation of historical values for future generations. This purpose of the study is solved by creating a pleasant and easily accessible garden environment and by choosing the content of the building, which will give people a reason to visit and use the monastery grounds more. The architectural design is based on an analysis of the current situation and freely reflects the ideas of the town management. And at the same time, from the point of view of historic preservation, the proposal strives for the greatest possible degree of preservation or restoration of valuable historical building constructions and details. The new content of the building is a hotel with wellness, a restaurant, a cafe, offices and a coworking center, exhibition spaces, art studios and a multifunctional town hall. The building is complemented by new architectural elements of the central staircase with elevator and the atrium roof, which, like the park arrangement of the garden, combine contemporary architecture with the concept of baroque morphology.

The Monastery of Svatá Dobrotivá
ŠMEJKALOVÁ, Jana
The author will deal with the building history and the description of architecture of the Augustinian monastery of St. Dobrotivá with the Church of the Annunciation to the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Dobrotivá in Zaječov. Furthermore will be the author focused on history of the sacred building, especially from the epoch of foundation through plundering during the Hussite wars and subsequent effort to reconstruct this building in the end of the 15th century, repeated decline of architecture in the 16th century to resurrection in the epoch after the Battle of White Mountain. The text will also deal with the not very well known cult of St. Benigna, whose relics were transported to the monastery from Rome. The next focal point of this work will be the sculpture of St. Dobrotivá, which was used as a reliquary of relics and is currently on loan in the National Gallery in Prague. Last but not least the author will focus on analysis of the moveable art of the church. This moveable art comes from the 18th and partly from the 19th century and consists of hanging paintings and altars. In the church there are also paintings from J. P. Molitor and J. Matthauser. The purpose of this work is to point out the existence of the monastery itself. Apart from the history of the monastery the author would like to summarize the current research of a not very well known saint and to explore the existing movable art in the monastery temple.
