An early landscape garden as a historical monument: Compositional analysis of the garden in Krásný Dvůr in the Czech Republic

Original language description

Historic gardens are important but often undervalued heritage monuments. The paper presents the development of the heritage protection of the historic gardens and parks but reminds also the importance of the nature protection in the gardens. The study area is the Krásný Dvůr garden in western Bohemia (Czech Republic), which represents one of the first landscape gardens in the Czech lands. This garden is presented in European garden history context. The main focus is on the compositional analysis that has not been performed yet. Not only old maps but also historical descriptions and paintings were used to conduct this analysis. Terrain research was inevitably utilized for evidence of the present state. Krásný Dvůr garden is a typical example of early landscape gardens influenced by the picturesque and anglo-chinois style. The composition consists of many closely situated and relatively small bits of scenery that usually do not appear to communicate among themselves. It was demonstrated in this study that many follies and vistas are still preserved today. The compositional analysis could serve as a basic material to inform garden presentation and reconstruction.
