Abstract

The Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape

763

Czech Republic

C(i) (ii) (iv)

The Committee decided to inscribe the nominated property on the basis of cultural criteria (i), (ii) and (iv) considering that the site is of outstanding universal value being a cultural landscape which is an exceptional example of the designed landscape that evolved in the Enlightenment and afterwards under the care of a single family. It succeeds in bringing together in harmony cultural monuments from successive periods and both indigenous and exotic natural elements to create an outstanding work of human creativity.

The Committee decided to include criterion (i) to the proposed criteria since the ensemble is an outstanding example of human creativity.
