Near the towns of Kladruby nad Labem and Selmice in the Pardubice Region, there lies a unique agriculturally utilized landscape, composed as a work of landscape art, and which has been proposed for registration on the World Heritage List. For centuries, the land has been used for breeding and training ceremonial carriage horses of the Old Kladruby breed, and all its structural elements have been preserved to a high degree of authenticity. This makes it a globally unique landscape. Among the analyses necessary to justify its nomination onto this prestigious list, an analysis of the landscape composition is crucial, and is the focus of this article, which addresses the history of the origin and development of the National Stud Farm landscape in Kladruby nad Labem. The article also focuses on a compositional analysis of the landscape as a whole as well as of the individual elements (structures, water, vegetation) that make it up. The article concludes with a brief justification of the unique values of the landscape, for which the Czech Republic has nominated it for registration on the World Heritage List.

Keywords: Landscape architecture, artistically formed cultural landscape, landscape composition analysis, National Stud Farm in Kladruby nad Labem, ornamental farm
