The castle garden in Ostrov as the eighth wonder of the world. Protecting the historic elements of water systems

Lubomír Zeman

Zprávy památkové péče 2016, 76(5):459-467  

The castle garden in Ostrov (Schlackenwerth), during the course of the more than three and a half centuries of its existence, has undergone four developmental stages - from the mannerist early Baroque gardens of the 1640's, through the Baroque era in the 1660's, through the grandiose High Baroque garden of 1690-1715, to the natural landscaping of the early 19th century. At the time, the garden, with its many water elements and rich sculptural decoration, had no equal in the Czech lands and therefore was referred to as "the eighth wonder of the world". The authorship of the individual stages, however, was shrouded in mystery until recently. Equally...

Zprávy památkové péče 2016, 76(5):468-475  

The article presents the hunting landscape of the Šťáhlavy area, formed by the Černín family of Chudenice from the 18th century, who used the older hunting grounds of the Kokořovec family of Kokořov. The landscape was later also significantly modified by the Wallenstein family, who acquired the estate in 1816. The central building of the Šťáhlavy dominion became the Kozel hunting lodge, set amidst a greatly modeled landscape, around which a large buffer zone was declared in 1994. The lodge occupied a dominant position on the eastern side of the vast forest enclaves, divided by the meadow valley of the Úslava River and the residential area with fields...

Zprávy památkové péče 2016, 76(5):476-482  

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...

Zprávy památkové péče 2016, 76(5):483-496  

Modifications in the landscapes around spa towns are among the most extensive in the Czech Republic. This type of landscape is characterized by the high quality and great variety of its main functions embedded into the natural environment. The overall structure of urban and rural spa areas combines architecture, urbanism, landscape architecture, and landscape modification in a unique way that integrates the surrounding countryside into the built environment, both functionally and visually. To make the spas more pleasant, spa parks, gardens and alleys, and colonnades under the open sky were built in urban areas. The area around the spa units, designed...

Interpretation of the historical development of a garden art structure: The Žižkovy Sady municipal park in Hradec Králové

Roman Zámečník

Zprávy památkové péče 2016, 76(5):497-510  

The historic urban park of Žižkovy Sady in Hradec Králové was founded between 1904 and 1906 based on a design by landscape architect František Thomayer, a leading personality in Czech gardening art. Through an analysis of archival sources, and based on findings from field research, the historical development of the park was interpreted. Emphasis was placed on the oldest history of the building (first quarter of the 20th century). Žižkovy Sady was evaluated in relation to the level of preservation of its historical composition. Attention was focused on the importance of the structure in the history of the development of the public urban park.

Zprávy památkové péče 2016, 76(5):516-520  

The history of the castle gardens of the Libochovice State Castle can be tracked from 1685 to the present. The 19th century had a smaller impact on the shape and scope of the gardens.The first head gardener of the 19th century was František Damaska (1759-1840). In 1808 he prepared plans to transform the park based on the fashionable trends of the time. These plans, however, did not come to pass. In 1821, the castle proprietor, Prince Josef Dietrichsteinen (1767-1854) transferred him to another location in his estate.The new gardener Čeněk Seigerschmidt (1783-1830) was commissioned in 1821 by Prince Dietrichstein to convert the castle gardens...

Lenka Křesadlová

Zprávy památkové péče 2016, 76(5):521-529  

Using the example of the Flower Garden, typical characteristics can be presented of the phenomenon of plants in containers versus the authenticity of garden art composition, both in terms of the range of plants used and their different methods of wintering and presentation, from the early Baroque period to the present. The Flower Garden in Kroměříž is unique in that the tradition of growing thermophilic plants was not interrupted here even after World War II. The plant collections have been continuously maintained and presented for more than 350 years.Thanks to the meticulous management of the Archbishop archives, at least partial records of cultivation...

Archaeological excavations of garden art monuments versus period iconographic sources. A few experiences from the Flower Garden in Kroměříž

Jiří Janál

Zprávy památkové péče 2016, 76(5):530-534  

The International Charter on historic gardens requires the renovation of historic gardens to be carried out on the basis of a scientifically substantiated design. In effect, this means that it is necessary to concentrate all available sources to the memory of garden art, and possibly to subject analogies and this ensemble to criticism. An important source of knowledge concerning the original appearance of a historical garden is also historical depictions. The question, however, is to what extent the structure depicted is truthful and what the degree of possible artistic license may be. For extinct structures, these questions be answered in part through...

Zprávy památkové péče 2016, 76(5):535-541  

The garden architect Josef Kumpán was one of the leading figures in his field in the Czech Republic during the first half of the 20th century. The aim of this article is to demonstrate the possibility of using archival sources within the context of a personal fund which is part of the archival fund of the National Agriculture Museum for the purpose of applied research. This was mainly the analysis of archival documentation focusing on Kumpán's design activity; sorting, drawing up a list of structures, subsequent search for structures within the Czech and Slovak Republics for which the projects were developed, etc. The preparation, execution, and evaluation...

It's the time you spent on your rose... Examples of systematic education of primary school pupils in garden art monuments

Petr Hudec

Zprávy památkové péče 2016, 76(5):542-545  

As demonstrated by the results of the project "Enjoying Czech Heritage", the implementation of educational programs in a historic environment meets the educational needs of visitors more effectively than a usual guided tour. In the case of programs prepared for elementary school students, this means, for example, monitoring relationships in Framework Educational Programs. In order to develop pupils' knowledge and skills as well as shape their values and attitudes, a single visit to a monument is usually not enough. The article presents two concepts of long-term education in Kroměříž UNESCO sites that were created for first-level pupils of elementary...

Sources of aerial and satellite data for recording immovable heritage properties and caring for the historical landscape

Martin Gojda

Zprávy památkové péče 2016, 76(5):546-552  

Researchers focused on recording, documenting, researching, and protecting immovable components of prehistoric and historic heritage and on studying the cultural landscape are increasingly appreciating the potential of remote sensing data, specifically aerial photographs and satellite images. Their testimony often significantly enriches our knowledge of their overall appearance, spatial layout (setting in the landscape context), of certain qualitative (e.g. architectural and sculptural) characteristics difficult to observe when viewed from the ground, and of course of their quality and the range of their preservation.The first chapter introduces...
