AB  - The Sedlec Monastery was founded in the 1140s. Its greatest expansion dates from the 14th century when it benefited from Kutná Hora wealth. During the Hussite Era, the monastery was closed and in the mid-15th century, the Cistercians began its renovation. The second expansion period dates from the late 17th and early 18th century under Abbot Snopek when the monastery was substantially rebuilt, including the monastic church. In 1783, the monastery was closed based on the decree of Emperor Joseph II. With the closure, the list of valuable movables was drawn up. It is the main subject of this study because it represents the last reminder of the monastery's existence, listing the majority of items in their original placement and thus providing an idea about the decoration and purpose of the individual rooms. The German inventory is presented in its Czech translation.
