globetrott Says: This is another saloon, beautifully decorated with a chandelier made in Bohemia also only lighted by candles.Have a look at the great pattern of the wooden floor and the door on the right - it opens to the upper floor of the covered arcades around the garden .You may not get...
globetrott Says: The small room that makes the entrance to the chapel shows portraits of former owners of the castle and a pecious Empire-clock made by Antonin Lister from Vienna.
globetrott Says: Have a look for this great collection of arms, including a special sword -in the middle of my picture - it was made by the teeth ( or should I rather call it the horn ? ) of a sword-fish
globetrott Says: The chapel of the castle was used by the family of the owners only. It was built in baroque style first and rebuilt in neo-gothic-style lateron.There is even a small organ in the chapel.
globetrott Says: The diningroom looks the same as more than 100 years ago :The chandelier still lighted ONLY by 20 candles...great portraits of familymembers and other paintings on the walls - and the frames of the paintings even surrounded again by stucco-frames.
globetrott Says: At the end of the library you may see a portrait of the famous novelist Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach ( born as countess Maria Dubska, niece of Edwin Dubsky )When you click on the pic, you may see the great wooden walls and lots of sculptures around the protrait of the famous...
globetrott Says: The library of Marie von Ebner Eschenbach is certainly one of the highlights of the tour though the castle.There are not so many books shown, but most of them hidden behind the wooden wall-constructions.Have a look for the great wooden ceiling !
globetrott Says: It was one of the great surprises, that during the guided tour through the castle we could listen to these 2 musicians playing music like in the good old times of Erwin Dubsky...Just behind the musicians a portray of countess Mathilde Dubsky ( 1808 - 1887 ), wife of Erwin...
Take a tour through the castle with me.
globetrott Says: Tours of the castle will be possible ONLY with a guide. I attended a czech tour, and I am not sure, if tours are held in other languages, But at least you get a printed leaflet in various languages and may read the text yourself.The tour starts inside the castle-court
globetrott Says: Have a look for the great sculptures of the castle at the entrance.The watermoat was just a decoration, and did not have the purpose to defend the castle, so the bridge was built by solid stones and decorated with great sculptures.
globetrott Says: From Brno / Bruenn take street Nr. 43 / E 461 north towards Kurim.Shortly after the village of Cerna Hora turn to the left and follow street Nr. 376 to Lysice.There will be enough parking-spaces directely at the castle.
globetrott Says: While most of the livingrooms were rather big and overstyled, the bedrooms were rather simply decorated and furnished.This is the bed of the duchess Dubsky.Good night, sleep tight, Mrs. Dubsky !!
globetrott Says: It was quite usual for rich people in the 19th century to have a special oriental saloon in their castles ( simply think of Friedrich the great and his Chinese Teahouse in Potsdam )While many other noble people simply showed oriental accessories, they have bought in European...
globetrott Says: The old Atlas certainly had a special meaning for a globetrotter and traveller like Edwin Dubsky.Some of the proportions are shown differently today , but still an atlas with an age of more than 300 years was a masterpiece for it's time.
globetrott Says: This wonderful clock, made of Meissen Porcelain is another highlight of the guided tour through the castle.This clock ws made by E.Anderssen in the 2nd half of the 19th century.
globetrott Says: Old dishes and jugs are displayed in another room, close to the castle-kitchen.These jugs were really extremely heavy, and filled with drinks it needed a lot of experience to serve at the table during the festivities and banquets
globetrott Says: This is one of the silk wall-papers of the upper entrance-hall , showing fabulous creatures like the ones you see in some buildings in Pompeji / Italy.I wish I had such wall-papers in my house...
globetrott Says: The entrance-hall was built in a special style with similarities to houses in Pompeji.Erwin Dubinsky obviously was a fan of Pompeji ( like me ) so he has the walls covered with red silk-wall-papers and an atrium with marble columns at the top.
globetrott Says: This collonade around the park is something special, as it is covered on top against rain in 2 floors - a rather unique construction.And that way the ladies of the castle were able to take a walk in the fresh air without loosing their precious white skin......well today...
another great painting by E.Dubsky
globetrott Says: All of the castle is filled with great works of art - like this painting by Erwin Dubsky, shown in the library.This painting was my favorite, as it shows a great atmosphere and wonderful colors. Erwin Dubsky was quite obviously a man of many talents.
