The history of Broumov Abbey dates back to the 13th century and the Benedictines are still active in the Broumov region today. The history is commemorated by a number of monuments, such as the imposing monastery in Broumov, a group of rural churches from the workshop of Kryštof and Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer, the chapel at Hvězda or the former monastery in Police n. Metují.
Omnium z.s. is dedicated to the rescue and restoration of destroyed, endangered or disused monuments, from small buildings, crosses, cross roads to large sacral and non-sacral monuments in the Czech Republic. It also organises a series of educational and awareness-raising seminars in the field of cultural heritage.
The monastery was founded in the 13th century by the Benedictines of Břevnov and underwent reconstructions. It houses the Museum of the Town of Police nad Metují (the exposition is open seasonally). The abbey organises cultural events in the former Refectory.
