Lednice

Lednice-Valtice UNESCO Landscape

The Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape is a UNESCO World Heritage site spanning nearly 300 square kilometers. Centered around the Neo-Gothic Lednice Château, the area features a network of English-style parks and romantic architectural follies. Key structures include a 60-meter-high Moorish Minaret, the Empire-style Temple of Apollo overlooking the Mill Pond, and the Border Château, which historically marked the boundary between Lower Austria and Moravia. These landmarks are connected by scenic trails and ponds designed by the House of Liechtenstein.
