901 CZ - Litomyšl Castle (1999)

Brief Description

"Litomyšl Castle was originally a Renaissance arcade-castle of the type first developed in Italy and then adopted and greatly developed in central Europe in the 16th century. Its design and decoration are particularly fine, including the later High-Baroque features added in the 18th century. It preserves intact the range of ancillary buildings associated with an aristocratic residence of this type."

利托米什尔城堡
"利托米什尔城堡承袭了文艺复兴时期拱廊式城堡的建筑风格。这种最早成形于意大利的建筑风格，在16世纪的中欧被广泛采纳并得以充分发展。其图案和装潢，包括18世纪增添的鼎盛巴洛克式晚期的装饰物，都堪称极品。这座拱廊风貌的贵族宅邸及其附属建筑都原封不动地保留了下来。"
