  • In 1726, Leopold Burghart built a new organ for the monastery church in Kladrubly. After the closing of the monastery in 1785, it was sold to the parish church in Kapsch. In 1969 the organ was overhauled and rebuilt by the Organa company, after which it was placed in the church hall of the Castle complex in Prague, the Chapel of All Saints.
  • Next to St. Vitrus Cathedral is the Royal Palace, the former home of the Bohemian monarchs. One enters the antique Vladislav hall with beautiful gothic vaults. Going up the Knight's stairs you enter the Green Hall and the Hall of the Tax Registers. Downstairs, adjacent to the Vladislav Hall, is the All Saints Chapel.
