In the mid-1850s, regional conservators were appointed to the Central Committee for Research and Preservation of Architectural Monuments in Vienna (k. k. Central-Commission zur Erforschung und Erhaltung der Baudenkmale in Wien) with Jan Erazim Vocel, a conservator for the City of Prague, among the first. Later, the Central Committee appointed the architect Bernhard Grueber as a correspondent for Bohemia to contribute to the activities of conservators. The Tetín locality in the Beroun region illustrates the conservator - correspondent cooperation. During 1856-1857, Tetín appeared in the viewfinder of the above-stated men during the renovation of the...

The article is dedicated to the history and building development of an inn situated in Kněževes township (Rakovník region), a former medieval and early modern village. The knowledge from archival research is presented as well as comprehensive building history research, including the results of dendrochronological analyses of several structures. The one-storey building with the ground floor of stone and a timbered upper storey dates from the late 17th and early 18th century. The building history of the inn is rather complex. The renovation of the former interior layout with respect to the functional analysis of the individual rooms is the mainstay of...

The contribution deals with the vanished palace in the former village of Chlum. When the homestead was established in 1762, a palace - an oblong two-storeyed building with a hip roof - was built in the western wing of the old Meierhof. The original three-part layout with an entrance hall, a staircase, and rooms on the sides was later extended by adding a cellar to the north. In April 1939, the owner Theodor Svoboda commissioned a project for the palace's renovation and expansion with a separate teahouse and villa. The palace remained in this form until the beginning of the 21st century. After 1948, various institutions used it for farming and housing....

New knowledge about the neo-Gothic reconstruction of the Konopiště CastleNew

Until now the neo-Gothic alterations of the Konopiště Castle (Benešov district) were attributed to the architect Josef Mocker, who at the end of the 19th century undertook a complete reconstruction and rebuilding of the castle for the heir to the throne, František Ferdinand ďEste. However, based on iconographic sources, this article provides evidence that Konopiště has been influenced by historical styles before. With the help of period photographs and depictions, the study bears evidence of the first neo-Gothic form of the Konopiště Castle from the time, when it was owned by the Lobkovic family.

Památky středních Čech 2021, 35(1):61-70 | DOI: 10.56112/psc.2021.1.06
Researchers focus on five localities in the Benešov and Tábor regions, four of which are fortified manors. Based on a wider comparison, the fifth locality, originally regarded as a fortified manor, must be interpreted as the remains of mining activities. The article mainly seeks to present an accurate survey of terrain relics. The researched areas include fortified manors in village centres as well as on the landscape.
Early Termination of the Žebrák Town Walls
Alena Nachtmannová, Vladislav Razím
Památky středních Čech 2021, 35(1):71-76 | DOI: 10.56112/psc.2021.1.07
The town of Žebrák (Beroun region) is rather noteworthy for several events related to its medieval fortification. In 1377, the royal officials ruthlessly extracted stone for the construction of the town walls from the fields of the local pastor and destroyed them. When the walls were erected, partial urban changes provoked a quick response from the burghers who partly occupied the land of the same pastor. In 1532, Žebrák suffered from a severe night fire and King Ferdinand I, who spent a night there, escaped it at the last minute. The fire - as well as further disasters - caused such substantial damage to the fortification that it fell into disrepair...
