Temple of Apollo
Apollonův chrám
An Empire-style temple on a slope beside the Lednice fishponds. Its semicircular portico overlooks the lake, making it a good place to watch the sunset over the water.
The Temple of Apollo was built between 1817 and 1819. Its semicircular domed portico is decorated with a relief of Apollo, the sun god, driving his chariot, and it faces the Milník fishpond. The fishponds here are a nature reserve and a habitat for migratory birds, and herons and cormorants are often seen by the lake. The temple is about 3 kilometers from Lednice Chateau, roughly a 15-minute bike ride, and it can be combined with the Little Castle on the pond and the Temple of the Three Graces into a southern cycling route. Viewing the exterior is free, and the light is best at sunset.
