Pałac Myśliwski Habsburgów w Cieszynie
Czechia
You approach from the town, and the building faces you squarely, because that is how it was set: on the eastern slope of the Castle Hill, its façade turned towards Cieszyn. This is the Habsburg Hunting Palace, a Classicist residence raised between 1838 and 1840 at the foot of Góra Zamkowa and intended as a summer palace. Its architect was Joseph Kornhäusel, a figure of Viennese Classicism, brought here in 1838 by Archduke Charles Louis. The upper and lower castles had been wrecked in the Thirty Years' War; the ruins were cleared, and what survived of the lower castle went into the new building.
