The Lustgarten (Pleasure Garden) at Krom??íž

The Czech Republic has two Baroque landscapes that are listed as World Heritage Cultural Landscapes: Lednice-Valtice and the Gardens and Palace at Krom??íž.  These provide a good basis for comparison of the various aspects of Baroque landscape design that were employed at Vale?.

The following site places the Baroque etching circa 1691 in the landscape at Krom??íž as it appears today.  The majority of the etchings focus on the intimate gardens spaces of the Pleasure Garden, however there all also longer view connections that provide some context of the larger landscape.
