The congress venue will be a medieval monastery, abolished in 1785, and later having different functions. In 1949 it was seized by the state and during a short period around 1950 functioned also as a jail for political prisoners. After 1994 it was returned to church (Archdiocese of Prague) and currently it hosts a middle school. More information can be found here.
