| HLUBOKA CASTLE. |
I received this beautiful card showing this most magnificent castle..The "Hluboka Castle" is situated in Hluboka nad Vltavou..This is considered to be one of the most beautiful castles in The Czech Republic, in the second half of the Thirteenth Century a Gothic castle was built on this site and during its history it was rebuilt several times. The renaissance period saw a vast expansion and then it was rebuilt into a Baroque castle at the order from Adam Franz von Schwartzenburg in the beginning of the 18th Century.The Castle reached its current appearance during the 19th Century when Johann Adolf II von Schwatzenburg ordered its reconstruction in the romantic style of Windsor Castle. The Schwartzenburgs lived in Hluboka till the end of 1939 when the last owner Adolf Schwartzenburg emigrated overseas to avoid the Nazis. Then the property was lost through a special act. The Property now is ( Hluboka Castle ) a National Monument of The Czech Republic.
Thank you so much Vera for this truly lovely card...I really like it and would love to see this castle.
