The monastery in Zdar nad Sazavou was reconstructed in Baroque style when Vaclav Vejmluva was an abbot of the monastery (1705 – 1738). Extensive repairs and new buildings were completed both in the area around Zdar and in the domain of the monastery during his administration. The reconstructions were made in the spirit of „Baroque Gothic“ by a significant architect of Czech Baroque style Giovanni Santini. The convent church (a parish one today) of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary was reconstructed between 1706 and 1722 in the monastery. Stables of the noble academy were newly built around 1720 and construction of the prelature started in the same time. There was an agricultural yard called “The Lyre“ built before 1734 near to the monastery.
