Tři Trubky, Hunting lodge in Strašice, Czech Republic
Tři Trubky is a hunting lodge built in 1888–1890 at the confluence of the Třítrubecký potok and Klabava. Its ground floor is masonry, the upper storeys are timbered, and it has a steep saddle roof. A covered timber arcade links the main building to former farm buildings around a courtyard with a small white fountain.
Count Jeroným Colloredo-Mannsfeld, owner of the Dobříš and Zbiroh estates, had the lodge built in 1888–1890 to Camillo Sitte's design; the Viennese firm of engineer Kohl charged 180,000 gold for it. After the Brdy military range was established, most collections went to Dobříš castle. President Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk stayed here briefly in the 1930s, Edvard Beneš in 1938, and Field Marshal Walther von Brauchitsch from 1942 to 1945.
The lodge takes its name from the gamekeeper's lodge called U Tří Trubek, about two kilometres away; between the world wars it was also known as U Tří Jelenů, At the Three Deer. In the courtyard stands a small white fountain with a statue of a girl.
The estate is accessible via a walking trail of roughly 2.5 kilometers from the Padrťský potok parking area, following a path alongside the Klabava River. The route passes through forested terrain that is manageable on foot.
The lodge's own waterworks and hydroelectric plant were installed when it was built in 1888–1890, so the estate generated its power from the start. The interiors were later furnished with luxury furniture and objects brought from various European countries.
