Location of St. Procopius Basilica in Třebíč in Czech Republic
St. Procopius Basilica (Czech: Bazilika svatého Prokopa) is a Romanesque-Gothic Christian church in Třebíč, Czech Republic. It was built on the site of the original Virgin Mary's Chapel[1] of the Benedictinemonastery in 1240–1280. It became a national cultural monument in 2002 as a part of the "monastery with St. Procopius church".[2] The basilica together with the Jewish Quarter in Třebíč were inscribed as a UNESCOWorld Heritage Site in 2003, because of their exceptional testimony to the exchange of culture and values in the regions.[3]
As of 2013[update], the renovated Třebíč castle is a museum adjacent to the Basilica.[6][7][8]
History
The history of the basilica is closely associated with the history of the former Benedictinemonastery in Třebíč. Before the basilica was constructed there was a chapel of St. Procopius, which was built in the year 1104 and was consecrated by Heřman, Bishop of Prague. Five years later, the monastery already had its own church. This was consecrated in year 1109 by then Bishop of Prague, Jan II. In the crypt of the church Duke Litold Znojemský was buried, one of the founders of the monastery, and three years later his brother and Duke Oldřich Brněnský, the second founder of the monastery, was likewise interred.
The monastery grew rich and its influence swelled. For about half of the 13th century the monastery was rebuilt and fortified. This reconstruction was started in about the year 1240 and finished in the year 1260. The reconstruction meant the disappearance of romanesque architecture in the monastery, but allowed for the new basilica to be built. The basilica is preserved in its original style to this day.
