The subject of the restoration and construction work is the restoration of a part of the monastery and the Church of Our Lady Queen and Saint Giles in Třeboň. The area of the monastery (founded in 1367 by members of the Rosenberg prominent Bohemian noble family) is protected as a national cultural monument. The monastery of the canons of the Order of St. Augustine became after the foundation an important center of education and art at the southern Bohemia.

The monastery was abandoned during the turbulent period of the Hussite wars, but the canons returned to the site in 1433 again. During the Josephine reforms, the monastery was dissolved in 1785 because it did not prove its school and hospital activities. The compound is currently administrated by the Roman Catholic Church.
