The very unique, very large and perpetually for sale monastery has finally been sold in Smíchov. The Czech postal service, Česká pošta, has been trying to sell the property for years through an auction process – there has never been any interest from anyone who fulfilled the requirements.
Many passersby often wondered about the former monastery called Sv. Gabriel with the “na prodej” poster hanging high outside its massive walls, by one of the many windows. Finally, it was sold for CZK 353 million, which is indicative of the value assigned by an appraisal. The minister of the post office bought the building for CZK 3.5 million in 1919.
