Architecture

Looking for a way to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life during quarantine, I decided to take a trip to the Bukovany windmill and orchard. Located just a short distance from civilization, this peaceful and picturesque location was the perfect antidote to the stresses and strains of modern life.

As an avid technology enthusiast, I am always on the lookout for fascinating technical monuments to visit and learn about. One such monument that I had the pleasure of visiting recently was the Dutch windmill in Kuželov. This stunning monument, built in 1842, is a testament to the ingenuity and engineering prowess of its creators.

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 Rosa Coeli Convent, located on the eastern edge of Dolní Kounice, is a historical gem that is often overlooked. The ruins of the Premonstratensian monastery, including the church and a Baroque residence, are protected as a cultural monument. Despite its historical significance, many people are unaware of its existence.

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.

Veveri Castle is a stunning fortress located just 12 kilometres northwest of the centre of Brno. It is one of the closest castles to the city and can easily be reached by public transport. Although I will not delve into the history of the castle, it is worth mentioning that it has been rebuilt and reconstructed following the destructive actions of the socialist-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.
