The Ohrada hunting lodge was built for Adam František
Schwarzenberg by his court builder, Pavel Ignác Bayer, in 1708-1713. It was not only used
for hunting occasions - when Hluboká mansion was being reconstructed some years later,
the owner and his family lived at Ohrada. Viennese artist Jiří J. Werle painted the
legend of Diana, patroness of hunting, in the large hall and also decorated the Chapel of
St. Eustace. But because Ohrada served above all as a hunting lodge, Jan Adolf II Schwarzenberg founded there a forestry and hunting museum in 1842 which was looked after by Václav Špatný. Before World War II a small zoo was built near the lodge as part of the museum. |
