At the beginning, the end of the 16th century, a Renaissance fortress stood here, which was later converted into a Baroque chateau. Kynžvart Chateau’s most famous owner was the Austrian Chancellor Klement Metternich. It was Prince Metternich who gathered many of Kynžvart’s art objects, coins, weapons and, in particular, books, often hand-written manuscripts and incunabula. You can also see the Metternich study with its folding table, the chateau armoury with 220 weapons or the cabinet of curiosities.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="letter-spacing: -0.15pt;">You can get to the chateau from Mariánské Lázně by car or by bus, which departs from the station, but also stops in the centre at Chebská křižovatka.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="letter-spacing: -0.15pt;">Open: Apr, Sat, Sun from 9–16 hours, May-Jun Tue-Sun 9–16 hours, July-Aug, 9–17 hours, Sept Tue-Sun, 9–16 hours, Oct Sat, Sun 9 –16 hours</span></i></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="letter-spacing: -0.15pt;">Admission: full CZK 110, concessions CZK 70 - 90 </span></i></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p> 2015-10-07T13:14:50+02:00 Super User https://prakticky-pruvodce.cz/en/trips/marianske-lazne/98-pravoslavny-kostel-svateho-vladimira <h4 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="letter-spacing: -0.15pt;">The Orthodox Church of St. Vladimir</span></h4> <p><a class="jcepopup" href="http://prakticky-pruvodce.cz/images/fotogalerie/36-41_ML/Ruský-kostel-zima.jpg" target="_blank"><img width="300" height="394" style="margin: 5px; float: left;" alt="Ruský-kostel-zima" src="http://prakticky-pruvodce.cz/images/fotogalerie/36-41_ML/Ruský-kostel-zima.jpg" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="letter-spacing: -0.15pt;">This Orthodox Church in the Russia-Byzantine style was built from 1900-1902. The church is noteworthy for its artwork, not just the beautiful architecture, but also the internal furnishings. The interior is richly decorated, including icons from the 17th century. The enamel-majolica iconostasis, a ceramic wall decorated with icons separating the chancel from the church’s main area, is unique as well as the largest of its kind. This iconostasis was exhibited at the world exhibition in Paris in 1900, where it won the main prize. This church is not hard to find, it lies above Hlavní Street in the town centre, but if you ask the locals for the way, then bear in mind they all know it as the Russian Church.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="letter-spacing: -0.15pt;">Services take place throughout the year, every Sunday at 10 am.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="letter-spacing: -0.15pt;">Admission: CZK 20 </span></i></p> 2015-10-07T10:30:50+02:00
