Dvě brány parku Park
Dvě brány parku in the Chrudim district in the Pardubice Region are important examples of illusory Baroque architecture. These blind "gates," originally part of the garden of the suburban villa, are protected cultural monuments. The importance of these elements lies in their sculpture decoration by Ignatius Rohrbach, which he created around 1730.
The monument is located on Masaryk Square in Chrudimi and is protected as a national cultural monument. The illusory architecture of these gates was designed to represent real entrances to the garden, even if they lead nowhere. This type of design is characteristic of Baroque style, which often used illusion and perspective to enlarge space.
The sculpture decoration by Ignatius Rohrbach adds unique artistic value to the gates. Rohrbach, the famous sculptor of his time, reflects the Baroque taste and technique of that era with his work. This decoration contributes to the overall charm of the park and provides a valuable insight into the artistic trends of the 18th century.
Today Dvě brány parku is publicly available and is worth visiting for anyone interested in history or architecture. The park offers a quiet environment in the heart of the city of Chrudim and is an ideal place for relaxing and exploring cultural heritage. Visiting these gates brings not only a view of historical artistic creation, but also an opportunity to appreciate the beauty and complexity of baroque architecture.

For kids
Představ si, že se vrátíš zpět do minulosti, do doby, kdy byl park ještě mladý a plný tajemství. Byla to epocha, kdy se zelené kopce a lesy nacházely na okraji města a lidé se sem často nehrnuli. Ale co se tady vlastně stalo?
Tady v parku žili lidé, kteří byli ochotni riskovat a objevovat nové cesty. Byli to poustevníci, kteří hledali klid a čistotu, ale také šlechtici, kteří chtěli ukázat své bohatství. A pak tu byly i příběhy o tajemných lidech, kteří se v noci pohybovali skrytě a nikdo nevěděl, co vlastně dělají.
