Bredovský letohrádek Summer palace
Bredovský letohrádek stands on the hill near the Lemberk Castle in the district of Liberec, in the village register Lvová, part of the town of Jablonný in Podzedědí. The building is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic and since 2002 it has the status of national cultural monument with the castle Lemberk. This summer castle with an early Baroque garden is part of the Landscape Monument Zone of Lemberg, announced in 1996.
This castle built Kryštof Rudolf Breda from the Dutch family of Bredas in the early Baroque style sometime between 1660 and 1680. The construction was part of a representative castle area with a large garden and rich sculpture decoration. The 1674 Erb of Christopher Rudolf Breda is still visible above the main entrance to the garden and testifies to the original owner. In 1726, the Lemberk estate and the castle came into the hands of Count Philip Josef Gallas, who bought it from the Breda family. After the death of the House of Gallas the property passed through the inheritance to rod Clam-Gallasů.
At the beginning of the 19th century, the castle underwent construction in a classical style. At that time there was only a master gardener and the building lost its original representative importance. Later, the castle became the seat of the central forest administration of all the clam- gallasov large estates in northern Bohemia and remained in the property of the family until 1945.
Recently, the castle served the public. In the 1990s, a sculpture symposium was held in the former Baroque garden and later there were concerts. Until 2006, the exhibition of the Regional National Museum in České Lípa focused on local nature was located in the summer house.
The castle with the remains of the Baroque garden is made available to the public only exceptionally, for example within the Open Garden Weekend organised by the National Heritage Institute. Visitors can see the surroundings while walking on the educational path lined with a protected alley of 90 old Lips. From Jablonný via Markvartice leads to the castle Lemberk green marked tourist route, from the north you can reach the area on the International Educational Path of Lusatian and Zittava Mountains. The nearest railway connection offers a stop in Lvova on the line from Liberec to České Lípa.
