On The Earliest Look Of Buchlov Castle

Radim Vrla

Průzkumy památek 2021, 28(2):5-18 | DOI: 10.56112/pp.2021.2.01  

In 2020, the building history research of the Buchlov Castle was completed and uncovered some new information about its development. The presented article focuses on the earliest structures which were probably constructed around the mid-13th century. In the first place, they are two buildings in the southeast part of the castle core: a gate with a ground floor passage and an adjacent building with a rectangular floor plan. Both buildings retain Late Romanesque architectural elements in the original position. The article further deals with two prismatic towers that are related to the castle's earliest building stage as well. The western tower is better...

Medieval and Early Modern Wooden Structures of Saint Martin's Church in Sedlčany. With Special Regard to the Late Gothic Truss above the Nave

Jan Veselý, Jan Kypta

Průzkumy památek 2021, 28(2):19-36 | DOI: 10.56112/pp.2021.2.07  

The study mainly focuses on the analysis of the truss above the nave of the parish church of Sedlčany (Central Bohemia). Dating from the 1440's, the construction bears traces of a (today vanished) defence gallery which is depicted in the town's veduta from 1602. The description of the truss is accompanied by a similar plan and photographic documentation. Closer attention is paid also to the truss above the narthex that dates this annexe to the early 17th century.

Opava Castle and the Medieval Centre of 'Müller's House No. 1'

František Kolář, Petra Kaniová, Jana Koudelová, Dalibor Prix, Romana Rosová, Michal Zezula

Průzkumy památek 2021, 28(2):37-84 | DOI: 10.56112/pp.2021.2.06  

The Lichtensteins' castle in Opava gained increased attention from experts paradoxically only after its demolition as part of the redevelopment in late 1891 and early 1892. The Opava-based historian Vincenc Prasek was the first to point out the medieval origin of the structure, claiming that it was built by order of Přemek I, Duke of Opava († 1433), as a urban castle at the beginning of the 15th century. The following generations of historians continued Prasek's undertaking. Based on the analysis of written sources, they reconstructed the history of the castle that was rebuilt into a four-wing Renaissance palace at the turn of the 16th and 17th...

Forgotten Saint Elisabeth's Hospital in Bor near Tachov and Its Construction during 1515-1518. ... as only God knows when we would wait to see a bishop to consecrate it

Roman Lavička

Průzkumy památek 2021, 28(2):85-106 | DOI: 10.56112/pp.2021.2.05  

The study of archival sources, the building and its style features revealed unknown circumstances and the construction date of the hospital with a chapel in Bor near Tachov. It was built by Henry of Schwamberg († 1523) with the assistance of his nephew Christopher († 1534) between 1515 and 1518 on the site of an abandoned house on the way from the square to the castle. The discovery, or rather the identification of the consecration charter provided evidence that Bishop Martin Göschl consecrated the roughly completed hospital chapel with three altars on 22 August 1515 in honour of Saint Elisabeth of Thuringia, the patron of the poor and...

Palace of Queen Anne of Bohemia and Hungary: In the footsteps of a vanished residence at Prague Castle

Petr Uličný

Průzkumy památek 2021, 28(2):107-126 | DOI: 10.56112/pp.2021.2.04  

The queen's palace which was probably located at Prague Castle since the time of Vladislaus II of Bohemia and Hungary was inhabited by Anne of Bohemia and Hungary, the wife of King Ferdinand I, until 1541 when a fire dwstroyed it. The palace disappeared without a trace from the castle topography and various opinions have been expressed on its exact location. The article presents the options that are based on the analysis of sources, especially the description of the 1541 fire by Václav Hájek of Libočany, hypothesising that the palace had two parts. The main one was to the north of the White Tower, on the site of today's central wing, while the other...

Late Renaissance Luxurious Interior in Prague's Old Town in the Reflection of Estate Inventories

Alena Nachtmannová

Průzkumy památek 2021, 28(2):127-146 | DOI: 10.56112/pp.2021.2.03  

Estate inventories are excellent sources for the study of lifestyle and household equipment of the Prague burghers during the pre-White Mountain period. The article deals with the most affluent families whose household equipment was similar to that of the nobles. The inventories not only enable the study of household furniture, daily objects, and luxurious equipment, but also the particular arrangement of these objects in the rooms. Especially the well-inventoried estates allow for the reconstruction of the room configuration in the house, their connection and way of use.

Reconstruction of the České Budějovice Town Hall during 1727-1730. The Splendour and Misery of Baroque Art

Daniel Kovář

Průzkumy památek 2021, 28(2):147-170 | DOI: 10.56112/pp.2021.2.02  

The article summarises the information from archival sources documenting the Baroque reconstruction of the České Budějovice Town Hall during 1727-1730. Its original design by the architect Martinelli was only partially observed. During the realisation, the intention was changed based on the ideas of the investor - the municipal board, and the designs proposed by the builder Kelecsényi. The article further describes the contribution of the individual handicrafts and the procuration of the building material. The attachment presents the summary of accounted expenses.

On the Finding of the Early Gothic Buttress in Hradec Králové

Miroslav Kovář, Radek Bláha

Průzkumy památek 2021, 28(2):171-177 | DOI: 10.56112/pp.2021.2.08  

The article deals with the findings of several fragments of compound pier(s) that prove this type of support in Bohemian Early Gothic architecture that are quite rare to find. The buttresses are characterised by a cylindrical core that connects subtle cylindrical shanks of different diameters. They appear to show the still living response of the classical Gothic style and also document the high standard of the vanished structure. It cannot be ruled out that the elements were set in a mendicant monastery in Hradec Králové perhaps in the second half of the 13th century.
