Diana's Temple, Neoclassical hunting lodge in Lednice-Valtice, Czech Republic.
The symmetrical building features white columns, an observation deck, and an entablature adorned with decorative carvings representing hunting scenes.
Joseph Kornhäusel designed this Empire style structure in the early 19th century as part of the Liechtenstein family's extensive landscape development project.
The temple contains Latin inscriptions dedicated to Diana, the Roman goddess of hunting, reflecting aristocratic recreational traditions of Moravia.
The hunting lodge stands 3 kilometers northeast of Valtice, with guided interior tours available during summer months from Tuesday through Sunday.
The temple functions as both a ceremonial triumphal arch and a meeting point for hunters, integrating architectural grandeur with practical purposes.
