karlova koruna

Karlova Koruna (German: Karlskrone) is the chateau built in 1721-1723 for Frantiek Ferdinand Kinsk in the town of Chlumec nad Cidlinou. The basic architectural design was drafted by Jan Santini Aichel. The details and participation in the building process can be attributed to Frantiek Maxmilin Kaňka. The manor's design reveals one of the most noteworthy manor dispositions created in the Czech lands. The central high cylindrical body of the building is occupied by a three storied main hall to which a triad of residential side wings is connected. Due to this the manor does not need passages and its external appearance changes as the observer walks around it. Building was finished in time of king Charles VI's coronation. Frantiek Ferdinand Kinsk invited king at chateau and named castle after king's name (Karlova Koruna means Charles' crown in english).

Exposition

Original exposition Baroque in Bohemia was replaced with interior exposition that shows history of Kinsky lineage and history of Kinsky horse breeding.
