The garden house in Teplice, also known as Lusthaus, is a historic building built in 1732-1735 in the style of the French Baroque. Located in the park of Teplice castle and since its inception it has served as a cultural house. Today it hosts the Gallery Garden House Teplice, which is part of the Teplice House of Culture. This monument is remarkable not only by its architectural significance, but also by a long history of cultural activities.
The creation of the Garden House dates back to 1732-1735, when it was built according to the design of architect Christian Lagler. He has been part of the larger construction works of the Castle Garden and since its inception he has performed the function of the first cultural house in Teplice. At that time, Bohemia was part of the Habsburg monarchy, which also affected architectural style and artistic production.
Architectural The garden house presents a Baroque style with elements of French influence. During its existence it underwent several modifications which reflected changes in the time and needs of owners. Later, the house was modified into a classical style by Prince Jan Nepomuk of Clary-Aldringen, which was part of the wider construction work in the city. At the end of the 19th century, it was considered to rebuild the building in Art Nouveau style according to the design of architect František Ohmann, but this plan was not implemented.
The property of the Garden House has gone through various stages. Originally, the house was part of the Castle Garden and later was modified by Prince Jan Nepomuk of Clary-Aldringen in a classical style. This property became a place of cultural activity, which was important for the development of the city.
The garden house is not only an architectural monument but also a witness to the history of cultural life in Teplice. Today it hosts the Gallery Garden House Teplice, which represents artistic and cultural activities. It is part of the Teplice House of Culture and works with local institutions to organise exhibitions and cultural events.
Currently, the Garden House is accessible to visitors who want to learn about its history and current cultural offer. It is a place that is worth visiting not only because of its architectural value, but also because of a rich programme of cultural events.
The garden house in Teplice is therefore more than just a historical building. It is a living cultural space that connects the past with the present and offers visitors the opportunity to become acquainted with the city's rich history and its current cultural activities.

Welcome to Teplice, one of the greatest monuments of this city - the Garden and Ball House, also known as Lusthaus. You are standing in front of an elegant building whose facade will enchant you with its historical character. Its architectural beauty and harmony with park greenery create the perfect environment for cultural gatherings.
Let's dive into the past. The garden house was built between 1732 and 1735 in the style of French Baroque, which is also seen in its elegant lines and decorative elements. The architect of this beautiful work was Christian Lagler, who managed to create a building which since its inception served as a cultural centre. In 1735 the completion of the building was the designation of a new era for Teplice castle and its surroundings.
Look up at the facade that welcomes you with its symmetry and harmonious arrangement. Notice the elegant lines that are characteristic of the French Baroque, and how the building is adventurously characterized against the background of the Teplice Mountains. Although specific details are not specified here, you may realize that each element has been carefully thought out for the aesthetic effect.
Now pay attention to the key stories and personalities involved. Prince Jan Nepomuk of Clary-Aldringen played an important role in the history of this house. Later, this dignified man modified the building into a classic style, adding another layer of history and elegance. His efforts to improve and modernise this place are still evident today.
Interestingly, at the end of the 19th century, the possibility of further developing the functional potential of the house was considered, reflecting its constant adaptation and importance to the local community. This house has been and remains a living center of cultural life.
I recommend that you look inside the Gallery of the Garden House Teplice, which now hosts art exhibitions and culture. It's a great opportunity to explore modern art in an old historical context.

At this time the weather may be variable, so we recommend wearing layered clothes and perhaps an umbrella. It is best to visit the house in the early afternoons when there are fewer visitors.

Sunshine days increase the attractiveness of outdoor spaces where you can enjoy the beauty of nature in the surroundings.

We recommend to wear light and light clothing along with sun-protection cream.
Autumn: In autumn the monument of a different atmosphere grows when leaves of falling trees colour the surroundings in a variety of colors. The sun is less intense and long nights come closer, giving you the opportunity to see the house in a specific light. This period is ideal for quieter tours without large crowds. We recommend wearing warmer clothes and perhaps shoes suitable for walking on a troubled surface.
Winter: Winter visit to the Garden and Ball House offers a unique atmosphere where the whole house is covered with snow or ice. The sunny dawn in winter days illuminates architectural elements differently than in middle seasons.
