Tisnov - Abbey of Porta Coeli Attractions

The town of Tisnov is known primarily for the Abbey of Porta Coeli, which is located nearby. The abbey is currently in somewhat of a state of disrepair. However, this is changing as rotating work groups of volunteers come to Tisnov to undertake the required renovations. The quality and quantity of volunteer work leads some people to state that the Abbey has a look of "over restoration".

The Abbey of Porta Coeli was founded in 1233 and is built in the Romanesque style. The key sight to see is the west side portal. Also of interest are the cloisters, which boast of fine carving and craftsmanship. The Abbey of Porta Coeli is located 24km / 15mi north of Brno.
