The Monastery in Slovene or Emausy is a temple with an original tower and two intersecting spiers. The history of the monastery is more than 650 years old. It was founded already in 1347 by Charles the 4th, thus in honor of which the famous Charles Bridge was named. The monastery belonged to the Benedictine Order, but worship services were conducted in Old Slavonic by Croatian monks. This was a unique fact at the time, since usually divine services were conducted in those days in Latin, especially Charles, besides being a Czech king was also the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. But beyond that, according to his mother, Karl was also a Slavic mother, and he wanted to eliminate the contradictions of the Western and Eastern Christian churches. Hence the second name of the monastery - "On the Slovens", which has now passed to the surrounding area. Well, the name Emmauskogo gone, because that at the consecration of the monastery read the head of the Bible, where it was told about the meeting of Jesus with the disciples on the way to Emmaus.
