Klášter lies along the Úslava River, amid the rolling fields and wooded slopes of the southern Plzeň Region. Its identity is closely tied to the former Cistercian monastery of Pomuk, founded in 1144 and destroyed by Hussite forces in 1420; surviving ruins mark the place around which the settlement developed. Above the village, Zelená Hora Château is associated with the Manuscript of Zelená Hora, a medieval-style text announced there in 1817 and now considered a literary forgery. Near the town of Nepomuk, Klášter connects a riverside rural setting with one of western Bohemia’s important medieval monastic sites.
