zámek Plandry Chateau

Plandry is a location near Jihlava, where by the end of the 20th century there was a extinct castle, which represented a typical village mansion in Bohemia. The castle was built around 1734 Josef Ignác Zebo z Breitenau. The building had a ground plan of the letter L and consisted of two single-story wings.

During the 18th and 19th centuries the chateau gradually changed the owner within the same family. In 1765 Antonín Adolf Zebo z Breitenu became the new owner, the brother of the original builder, who was in Jihlava worthy of the flowering of soukenism. Thirteen years later, in 1778, the inheritance went to his son, the knight Vincent Zeb of Brachfeld. The property expanded considerably - it connected properties purchased from the Jihlava hospital. After Vincent's death in 1810, the castle became the property of his daughter Aloisie, who married the Chamberlain Emanuel František Schirninger. He added empirical orange to one wing.

The property then wandered into the hands of other nobles. In 1889 it was inherited by Aloisie Františka Dobřenská from Dobřenice, who divided the estate in her will: two thirds left to Karl Wiedersperg and one third to Václav Peter III's brother. Good guy. After World War II, Wiedersperg's share was confiscated, and the castle gradually faded.

The building had characteristic Baroque elements - a mansard roof with arches and a turret situated above the castle band. There was a park area around the castle with a statue of St. John Nepomucký and also a larger park with a pond and an island with a stork statue. The property belonged to an economic court, which, over time, transformed into a granary, supplemented by an empirical port in 1840.

After 1945 the castle gradually faded until the 1990s, when local authority excluded it from the list of protected objects. In 1998 it was demolished and the physical existence of this document of Czech Baroque architecture ended. Fortunately, economic structures and the park have remained protected by the state. The visitor will find a statue of St. John Nepomuk, a memorable linden and remains of an economic building, reminiscent of the size of the once important rural estate. Although the site suffers from neglect and inappropriate building modifications, it still retains historical value and speaks of the wealth of baroque and Empire times in the Moravian region.
