Ceskolipa Museum is located in the complex of buildings of the former Augustinian monastery in the centre of the town. The monastery was founded in 1627 by Albrecht von Wallenstein. The complex is connected to the single-nave church of All Saints. The construction of the extensive monastery complex took almost 140 years. At the end of the 17th century, the Chapel of Our Lady of Loreto was built, which reopened to visitors after reconstruction in 2000.

The Loreto Chapel is surrounded by an ambulatory with a cloister, chapels in the corners and the Holy Steps. Today, these spaces are used for regular exhibitions. The Chapel of the Holy Trinity with its altar by the Baroque painter Ignaz Joseph Raab is accessible directly from the ambulatory. The chapel is decorated with wooden carvings of the Stations of the Cross from Bezděz. It is used as a concert, wedding and lecture hall and now bears the name of the Baroque composer Ignaz Bieber, born in nearby Stráž pod Ralskem. In one of the former corner chapels of the ambyte, a historic bookbinding workshop is now open, where visitors can see the work of a bookbinder.

The predecessor of the museum was the Excursionsclub, a local history association founded in 1878. The museum's own history began in 1899, when the Museum Society was launched, and the museum opened in 1900. The museum's collection is based on natural history, social science and book collections, which were built up through the activities of local societies and enthusiastic individual collectors - donors to the museum.

Today, nearly half a million objects are cared for by expert staff and the collection is being further expanded and added to. On an area of 2,100 m2 there are 5,400 exhibits on display in the museum's permanent exhibitions.
