Parks and gardens in Lednice

This collection highlights the core of the UNESCO-listed Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape. It features the formal 19th-century French garden and the extensive English landscape park surrounding Lednice Castle. The list covers the series of artificial ponds—Zámecký, Mlýnský, and Prostřední—originally designed by the Liechtenstein family for fish farming and aesthetic appeal. These waterways and the Stará Dyje riverbed form a vital habitat for water birds and rare plant species within the South Moravian floodplain.
