Castle Lednice and park / Lednický zámok a zámocký park
Zámok Lednice sa nachádza v moravskej obci Lednice na pravom brehu rieky Dyje, približne 12 km východne od mesta Mikulov.
Zámok s rozľahlou záhradou patrí medzi najkrajšie pamiatkové komplexy v Českej republike. Lednické panstvo získali v roku 1249 Lichtenštajnovci a patrilo im takmer 700 rokov.
Dnešnú podobu získal zámok pri rozsiahlej rekonštrukcii z polovice 19. storočia v slohu imitujúcom anglickú tudorovskú gotiku. Došlo tak k rekonštrukcii pôvodnej renesančnej stavby zo 16. storočia okolo ktorej bola už vtedy rozsiahla zahrada. Významnou úpravou prešiel zámok koncom 17. storočia, kedy bol barokovo upravený podľa plánov významného talianskeho architekta Domenica Martinelliho a Johanna Bernharda Fischera z Erlachu. Zámocká budova je veľmi bohato novogoticky zdobená.

Lednice Travel
Lednice Travel - At the end of the 18th century, the local manor lordship -- the House of Liechtenstein -- began to create a unique manmade landscape complex: The Lednice -- Valtice Area. During the 19th century, the Liechtenstein family continued transforming the area, which has since been called the Garden of Europe, into a large landscape park with two centres:
Valtice Castle (and contiguous town)
Lednice Castle (and contiguous village)
In 1715 these two localities were connected by the so-called Bezruč Avenue. There is also one more village - Hlohovec. Between Lednice, Valtice and Hlohovec, the Lednice Ponds (Lednické rybníky) are situated, together with Mlýnský, Prostřední, Hlohovecký and Nesyt Ponds. A substantial part of the complex is covered with pines called the Pine wood (Boří les), and partially with a riparian forest adjacent to the River Dyje.
Except for above mentioned, there are a lot of bigger or smaller pavilions scattered throughout the whole complex, often serving as hunting lodges.:[1]
