Tisnov Area - Part 2
The second entry about the Tisnov Area. Today, we will visit the village of Lednice and its immediate surroundings. The village was founded in 1344 and never gained any importance. The only reason for its existence is its main attraction: the Lednice Castle and the extensive castle gardens. The village itself is rather small and consists of no more than the main square with the oversized parish church and a few surrouding streets.
Traditionally, we'll make our first stop at the village square.
The square, parish church and the castle.
Next stop is the castle. Originally founded in 1344 the present day buildings date from the early 17th century.
Surrounding the castle are the extensive castle gardens. Part of these gardens are formal gardens from the 17th and 18th century and the other parts date from the 19th century and consist mainly of wood land.
The area between Valtice (part 1) and the village of Lednice. Connecting the two is the so called Castle Avenue lined with many old trees running across the Lednice ponds. The village of Lednice is to the top right and Valtice is situated at the bottom of the picture (but not visible here). To the right the 13th-17th century monastery of st. Anne. To the left is the village of Hlohovec (more about this village in entry 3).
Two overviews of the village to conclude. Hope to see you back soon for part 3.
