Living in Moravia

Where: Lednice, Czech Republic
When: April 2014



I'll say this about the House of Liechtenstein in the late 13th century: They weren't poor. The family owned all of Lednice, located in the southeast corner of the Czech Republic near the Austria border, as well as nearby Mikulov and, in due time, the entire Lednice-Valtice area that has since become a UNESCO site. The centerpiece of this area is Lednice Castle, whose grounds include a sizeable lake in the back, a massive greenhouse, hedges, flowers, and a fountain, a closeup of which you see here. The grounds are in the style of an English garden, which means they have since added a full-size goal that's perfect for missing penalties.
