AB The builder Petr Versa (c. 1645-1726), descending from Verdabbio in Switzerland and settled in Litomerice at the end of the 17th century, carried out a rather extensive construction commission for the prominent Baroque nobleman, Count Franz Anton von Sporck, at his Konojedy Domain in northern Bohemia. Between 1698 and 1709, he renovated the former Konojedy Castle to a hospital and office house and built a new hospital church. In Valkerice, he built a castle and a parish house, and in Merboltice a new church was constructed. Versa's structures were built in the Early Baroque style based on designs of others (Petr Nitola) and perhaps also based on his own designs.
