Original founding charter of Vyšší Brod Monastery goes on display in Prague

The original founding charter of Vyšší Brod Monastery is now on public display for the first time at the Famed & Flowing: Vltava exhibition in the Riding Hall of Prague Castle. Dating back to the 13th century, the Latin document is notable for being one of the earliest sources to use the original Czech name for the Vltava River.

Curator Petr Pavelec told reporters that visitors can view the charter until November 14. The exhibition runs until January 4 and marks the conclusion of the Famed & Flowing: Vltava project by the National Heritage Institute, with contributions from other institutions.
