Böcker av Nad'a Goryczkova

The National Heritage Institute of the Czech Republic is the leading professional institution for heritage care in the Czech Republic. It manages over a hundred historic buildings and their grounds - castles, chateaux, monasteries, churches, industrial sites, garden complexes and other places. In this engaging book, the general director of the National Heritage Institute, Nad'a Goryczková, guides the reader through the most important of the richly preserved cultural buildings in Bohemia and Moravia. She presents a wide range of architecture from medieval castles, Renaissance and Baroque residences to Neoclassical and Romanticism-inspired nineteenth-century mansions, together with stories of their founders, owners and designers. All of these places have well-preserved historical interiors, extensive collections of art and historical furniture and an impressive selection of objects associated with everyday life over many centuries.
