Castle Lednice

An interesting landmark and architectural monument in the Czech Republic is Lednice Castle. It is located on the border of the three countries of Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, in the southeastern part of the country. Not far from the small town of Mikulov, immersed in the greenery of the park, the castle rises majestically on the banks of the Dyya River.

Previously, a Gothic fortress was located on the site of the castle, which was repeatedly mentioned in various documents.

In the 16th century, the construction of the castle began, the appearance of which changed, but still survived to this day. Initially, the building was created in the Renaissance style, but after a series of reconstructions it was endowed with Baroque features, and in the middle of the 19th century - neo-Gothic. The Gothic building is included in the Lednice-Valtice complex, and the Valtice Castle also belongs to it.

But you can enjoy not only contemplating the majestic buildings. A huge park stretches from castle to castle, which includes the best traditions of creating landscapes in England and France. This romantic place with the name "Garden of Europe" was created in the 18th century. It is no coincidence that the park was taken under the protection of UNESCO, because it was recognized as the most valuable cultural heritage.
