The Sázava Monastery is a Benedictine abbey and a monastery established by Bretislaus I, Duke of Bohemia near Prague around 1032.
The foundation of the monastery was initiated by Procopius of Sázava, a Czech hermit who was in 1203 canonized as saint. In 1056, Spytihněv II, Duke of Bohemia, had the monks expelled from the abbey. The monks found sanctuary in Hungary until 1061, when Duke Vratislaus II of Bohemia had them returned to the abbey.
The monastery was an important center of Old Church Slavonic literature until 1097.
