Minaret Arab on the Grounds of Lednice-Valtice

One of the great attractions to be found in the area of Lednice and Valtice are the small decorative buildings which are scattered throughout this huge area. Opposite the palace of Lednice, situated behind a pond about 60 meters high there is a minaret that was created in the period of adaptation of the English park. The minaret was erected as a romantic gazebo in Islamic style but never served for religious purposes, although there are inscriptions on the lower part of the minaret which are taken from the Quran.
