The monastery was then added to the chapel in 1663–1681.[3] Hájek is the destination of the pilgrimage starting in Prague-Břevnov.[4]
In 2001, an artificial castle was built in Červený Újezd. It houses a museum, but it also serves cultural and social purposes. There is a small open-air museum in the castle's gardens.[5]
