Set of memorial and directional stones in the park of the state castle in Hradec nad Moravicí and the artwork from abroad that inspired them
The article deals with the history of a unique set of memorial stones placed from 1843 to 1910 in the grounds of the castle park of the castle in Hradec nad Moravicí. The article also highlights the establishment of the English park in Hradec nad Moravicí as well as its direct source of inspiration from abroad - the park in Polish Záhaní, from where the custom of naming park still lifes, sightseeing spots, hills, and meadows, and of planting these places with memorial stones spread into the park complex in Hradec nad Moravicí. The article devotes special attention to stones named after the members of the Brotherhood of St. Hubert, a hunting and shooting club set up by Count Robert Lichnovský and which held celebratory shooting contests in the park and in the interiors of the castle of Hradec nad Moravicí from 1850 to 1857.
