Miroslav Straka at the Mitrowicz Chateau

In general, chateau gardens tend to be very formal and decorative. Anymore, their style rarely hits the spot for today’s audience. The Mitrowicz Chateau’s metamorphosis pays a tribute to the Chateau’s noble atmosphere while meeting the taste and aesthetic needs of its visitors. When we first saw it, we realised the garden was perfect for picnics, so establishing a culinary garden with fresh herbs seemed to be a logical step. Next, we came up with a playground with a maze, a bio-pool, a fire pit, and a fruit orchard. Visitors are accompanied by Miroslav Straka’s Figures with Dogs. We hope to introduce more sculptures to the park soon.
