« BACK TO ACCOMODATION

THE NORTH-EAST CORNER ROOM IS THE LARGEST SUITE IN THE CHATEAU, COMMANDING WONDERFUL VIEWS, THROUGH ITS 7 WINDOWS, TOWARD THE POND, THE STREAM AND THE MAIN COURTYARD. „LINES“, THE SITE-SPECIFIC ART INSTALLATION HANGING FROM THE WALL WAS CREATED BY BRITISH ARTIST ANNABEL HOWLAND WHEN STAYING WITH US IN 2003: SHE HIRED A SMALL AIRPLANE AND TOOK PHOTOS OF THE FIELDS AROUND THE CASTLE, HAD ONE PRINTED ON A LARGE SIZE AND THEN CUT OUT EVERYTHING BUT THE TRACES LEFT BY THE TRACTORS ON THE FIELD, HUMAN TRACES ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH. ANOTHER AMAZING ARTWORK IS THE „SELFPORTRAIT“ OF THE CZECH ARTIST KATERINA VINCOUROVA, MADE DURING HER PREGNANCY AND EXPRESSING ALL HER FEELINGS AT THE TIME. A DELICATE STAINLESS STEEL INSTALLATION IN THE VAULT OF THE NORTH TOWER IS A WORK BY CZECH ARTIST ALEŠ HNÝZDIL. THE WRITING DESK IS A NEO-CLASSIC PIECE IN INLAID OAK AND THE PEWTER CANDLESTICKS ARE XVIII CENTURY. THE LARGE ANTIQUE CARPET IS FROM AN ETHNIC TRIBE OF CENTRAL ASIA. THE IMPRESSIVE BATHROOM – ALSO THE LARGEST IN THE CASTLE - HAS A COLLECTION OF MIRRORS IN ANTIQUE GILT FRAMES AND A MODERN MOLDAVIAN CARPET OF STRIKING COLOURS. A SALLOWS´ NEST HAS BEEN PRESERVED IN THE CORNER OF THE CEILING AS A MEMORY OF THE TIME WHEN THE BIRDS WERE THE ONLY BEING TO INHABIT THE CASTLE. THE BATHROOM CONTAINS A 3 METERS LONG BATH SUNK IN THE FLOOR, FOR A VERY SPECIAL OCCASION THE WHOLE BATHROOM FLOOR CAN BE FLOODED WITH WATER AND FLOATING CANDLES..
