The baroque prelature in the Žďár nad Sázavou castle complex was built between 1722 and 1727 as the official residence of Abbot Václav Vejmluva, designed by Jan Blažej Santini. The main hall on the first floor is dominated by a ceiling fresco painted by Karel František Töpper around 1734 - one that has never needed restoration. For nearly sixty years the building housed the Museum of Books; since its closure in 2014, the hall (capacity 120 seated) has been used for concerts, theatre performances and wedding ceremonies.
