Valtice manor - UNESCO
Valtice represents an excellent example of Baroque style. The build up of the manor is in its first phase, i.e. about till the middle of the 17
th century, connected with Duke Karel Eusebius of Liechtenstein who also considerably influenced the final shape of the buildings. Till 1641 most of them were projected by G. G. Tencalla. In the first quarter of the 18
th century the manneristic esthetics of the three story manor was overlaid by a more modern form of the high Baroque according to the project of Johann B. Fischer from Erlach. His plan were realized here by D. Martinelli, especially after 1713. The stroll through the castle is a very pleasant experience. Several rooms and halls display extraordinarily rich wall decorations, whose value is not diminished by the fact that most of them were radically restored in the second half of the 20
th century. The most beautiful out of almost twenty interiors are
the Mirror Hall, the picture gallery, the manor chapel and the salon of Prince Charles. These and a number of other rooms are moreover decorated by magnificent ceiling paintings. The charm of Valtice is added to by the natural country park following since the 19
th century; the tradition of a similar park at the manor of Lednice and containing numerous precious decorative buildings. Of these, mention should at least be made, of the mighty colonnade with Corinthian pillars built in 1832 and the Temple of Diana also called Rendezvous recalls the Roman Victorious Arc (1812).
