Lednice Chateau & Park
Zámek Lednice
A Neo-Gothic palace of the Liechtenstein family, set in an English-style park with a minaret, greenhouses and artificial lakes. It is the core of the World Heritage landscape.
The Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape is an area of about 200 square kilometres of parkland shaped over centuries by the Liechtenstein family, and was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 1996. Lednice Chateau was remodelled in the 19th century in an English Neo-Gothic style. Its lavishly carved wooden interiors can only be viewed on a guided tour, and beside it stands a large greenhouse of cast iron and glass. Behind the castle, the English landscape garden has an artificial lake where you can take a boat trip, rowing to the roughly 60-metre-high minaret, which can be climbed, and to Janův hrad, an artificial castle ruin. The site is fully open from about April to October, and only partly open in winter. It is about 55 km from Brno, reached by train to Břeclav and then a bus.
Opening hours
Approx. April–October 09:00–17:00 (closed Mondays; partly open in winter)
