Kratochvíle, Renaissance château in Petrův Dvůr, Czech Republic
The villa features a symmetrical design with a central hall, surrounded by a water moat and Renaissance gardens spanning across marshy grounds.
Wilhelm von Rosenberg initiated the construction of Kratochvíle in 1583, transforming a medieval fortified stronghold into an Italian-style hunting residence by 1589.
The Great Gold Hall displays classical murals by Antonio Melana, while the Small Gold Hall contains five paintings depicting scenes from Samson's life.
The National Heritage Institute provides guided tours through the château, chapel, and Renaissance gardens, with around 40,000 visitors exploring annually.
Ten-meter oak and alder piles reinforce the foundation beneath the structure due to its construction on challenging swampy terrain.
