Chateau Clock, Zdanice, Czech Republic - Town Clocks on Waymarking.com

he town of Ždánice lies at the foot of the Ždánický les in South Moravia, in the north-west of the district of Hodonín. The town and castle of Ždánice were first mentioned in writing in 1349.

First there was a fortified stronghold, which was rebuilt into a Renaissance chateau by Oldrich of Kounice. The reconstruction was finished in 1569. The chateau became property of the family of Lichtenstein after the battle of Bílá hora. In adaptations in 1739, 1762 and 1789 the chateau was given a Baroque frontage. In 1931 the chateau was bought from the Liechtensteins by an enterpreneur, Dr. Ervín Seidl. In 1945, according to Beneš´s decrets, it fell to the state and was administered by the Ždánice local authority. Since 1992 it has been in private ownership. The chateau is adjoined by a park with rare trees

For over 60 years the ground floor of the chateau has been the seat of the Vrbas museum, established by the headmaster and local historian, Jakub Vrbas. The museum, which was reconstructed in the half of the 1990s, displays a wide collection of valuable, interesting as well as curious historical objects.
