Lednice-Valtice Area - Observation towers and sight-seeing locations

Observation towers and sight-seeing locations

• Apollon's cathedral 
  The pseudo-ancient cathedral on the banks of the Mlýnsky Stream was built like a viewing point on the peak above the Mlýnský Pond. The statue ornamentation, which was transferred here from the abolished Múz Cathedral, is thematically related to the ancient God Apollon. The chateau roof of the cathedral serves as a viewing point. You can see the surfaces of three ponds and all of the buildings in the area, surrounded by treetops

• Minaret - stone lookout tower 
  The minaret is perhaps the strangest of all the strange - i.e. uncommon in the countryside of Southern Moravia - edifices in the Lednice-Valticke grounds. They say that the building was built by Prince Alois Liechtenstein, when the local municipality refused to provide any land for construction of a church. The construction of minaret was finished in 1802 - it is a 60m high spire, rising from a low building with arcades and turrets, topped with the typical half-moon. Its highest gallery provides a view of the entire forest park of Lednice and Valtice and the fertile soil of Czech and Austrian plains beyond. The ridges of Pavlovské vrchy and the more distant White Carpathian Mountains appear on the horizon.
