The Landscape for Breeding and Training Ceremonial Carriage Horses in Kladruby nad Labem

Original language description

The landscape for the breeding and training of ceremonial carriage horses in Kladruby nad Labem is a rare synthesis of two categories of cultural landscape, living, to this day organically evolving landscape with specialized functional purpose, and landscape intentionally composed by man representing an exceptionally perfect type of specialized ornamental farm, ferme ornée, concerning breeding of carriage horses. While respecting the natural conditions of the place, the landscape is arranged in two contrasting but interconnected parts - formally arranged strips of grazing and forest landscape based on the principles of the French garden of André Le Nôtre with deliberately suppressed monumental classicist architecture of courtyards and a strip of painterly landscape parks supplemented by natural landscaping. The painterly-landscaped style is a specific and unique way of creating garden scenery, which originated during the Napoleonic Wars in Lednice na Moravě and was developed in the Habsburg monarchy until the First World War. Combined with the shaded structure of the mansions and the decently placed statues, this synthesis highlights the unique works of art for which the landscape was created - the Kladruber horses. The Kladruby landscape is a living testimony documenting the exchange of influences in the formation of a European landscape focused on the breeding and training of carriage horses. It contains clear and functional elements of landscape composition (axes, paths, alleys, avenues, watercourses, symmetrical structures, connections between elements), which are exceptionally perfect examples of creative application of compositional principles of landscape creation according to André Le Nôtre (French garden) to landscape with specific functionally intended purpose. The landscape is also unique in that it was arranged according to the principles of the French garden at a time when these were completely abandoned. Thus, this late application of Le Nôtre&apos;s principles in the landscape is a proof of the high viability of these principles and at the same time the very conservative taste of the person ordering the modifications, which was the Habsburg court, and is thus a distinctive image of contemporary cultural conditions. The use of painterly-landscaped principles is evidenced by their firm grounding in the garden creation in the Habsburgian monarchy, which made its gardens different and different from contemporary gardens of other countries. The landscape for breeding and training of ceremonial carriage horses in Kladruby nad Labem convincingly shows all the features of its continuous monofunctional use, which gradually took on forms of the highest aesthetic quality corresponding to the &quot;imperial&quot; meaning and purpose of this landscape, creating a unique type of ornamental farm (ferme ornée).
