Architecture

What to do in quarantine? Just go somewhere outside of civilization. Today it was the direction of Bukovany and wind mill that can be seen there. Unfortunately that day I was not the only one who wanted to see interesting piece of architecture, so I just took few landscape picture and moved few kilometre away to take a few more pictures of landscapes.

 I like technology and technical monuments. One of the few publicly available is located in Kuželov. It is a Dutch windmill built in 1842. Personally, I took a nice walk to this mill, as the driveway is being repaired and the prohibition sign says clearly, unfortunately this was not the case for many. Never mind, a few photos were worth the effort, the weather and a walk in better condition.

Jaromerice nad Rokytnou – chateau. I like travelling around the country visiting and watching sigh seen. This Summer I also visited chateau or castle Jaromerice in the same-named village Jaromerice nad Rokytnou. To be honest I do not know too much about castles but in this case, I have learnt it ranks among the most popular historical landmarks in the region.

Milotice Chateau is a Baroque chateau located in the village of Milotice in the Hodonín district. It is one of the most uniquely preserved complexes of buildings and garden architecture from the Baroque period. In this case I have not visited interiors, however, enjoyed its garden and overall view.

The ruins of the Premonstratensian monastery Rosa Coeli (from the Latin Rose of Heaven) are located on the eastern edge of the town of Dolní Kounice in the Brno-venkov district. Its grounds with the ruins of a monastery church and a Baroque residence are protected as a cultural monument.

Pernstejn Castle is a castle on a rock above the village of Nedvědice and the rivers Svratka and Nedvědička, some 40 kilometres northwest of Brno, in the South Moravian Region, Czech Republic. Pernstejn came to be known as the marble castle because of the marble-like stone used to frame the doors and windows.

Brno city hall and stone stairs to the municipal office. Very interesting stone stairs to our city municipal office with the heavy carved railings. One of many interesting pieces of architecture here in Brno.

Mahen Theatre in Brno during day and night before Christmas

Mahen Theatre in Brno is part of National theatre, an old historical public building. It is pleasure to see it during the day and night.

Is an originally ducal and royal castle some 12 kilometers northwest of Brno city centre. To be honest this is one of the nearest castles to visit from Brno as also public transport passes by.  I do not want to write about the history but it is necessary to point out that the castle is or was rebuilt, I mean reconstructed after it was destructively used by the socialistic - communist regime.

Olomouc I very nice city. Not so big, not so small and there are number of places that can be visited. When I bought my new Pentax K-3 back in 2014, this city was one of the firsts to walk around and take few pictures.
