Discover the charm of the Lednice-Valtice area - the Garden of Europe inscribed on the UNESCO list

The Lednice-Valtice Area takes you to the heart of one of the most beautiful cultural landscapes in Europe, created by the Liechtenstein family over several centuries. This book presents a unique combination of history, architecture and natural beauty that together form a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The Lednice-Valtice cultural landscape, often called the Garden of Europe, is a fascinating work of collaboration between humans and nature. Its development was shaped by the Liechtensteins, who for seven centuries built chateaux, parks, gardens and fishponds on this estate. Dominating the area are the impressive Lednice and Valtice chateaux, associated with outstanding artists and architects. The Lednice Chateau, built in the neo-Gothic style, and the surrounding mannerist park with its distinctive minaret represent a tourist attraction you cannot miss.
