Castle Lednice

#mytraveldiary The Minaret: A View to the Horizon The vast English park holds many secrets, the most prominent of which is the Minaret. This unique, Moorish-Revival viewing tower, standing over 60 meters tall, was built in the early 19th century by the Liechtensteins, allegedly because the church opposed building an Orthodox church tower. Climbing the 302 steps to the top offers unparalleled panoramic views of the entire cultural landscape, the chateau, the ponds, and the distant Pavlov Hills. It’s an essential part of the Lednice experience.
