Lednice-Valtice UNESCO Landscape

The Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape, a UNESCO World Heritage site, represents one of Europe's largest artificial landscapes. Shaped by the Liechtenstein family between the 17th and 20th centuries, it integrates the Neo-Gothic Lednice Château and the Baroque Valtice Château with an expansive English park. The grounds are characterized by romantic follies, including the 60-meter-tall Moorish Minaret, the neoclassical Temple of Apollo, and several summer houses connected by scenic paths and a sophisticated system of ponds.
