Work on the restoration of the Moorish waterworks in the grounds of Lednice Castle is bringing the first interesting results. As restorers gradually uncover the original layers, they have come across an unexpected detail that reveals more about the building’s historical appearance.

Beneath layers of later modifications, an emerald color has emerged on the inner frames of the so-called “ogee arches.” This surprisingly replaces the previously visible dull beige shade, which had long been considered original. This discovery raises new questions about the overall color scheme of the waterworks in the past.

Restoration work thus brings not only renewal, but also new knowledge. Each newly uncovered layer may hide further surprises that will help to reconstruct the historical appearance of this unique building more accurately. It is truly admirable to observe the work of restorers, who with exceptional care and sensitivity are returning the monument to its original beauty.

Visitors can continue to follow the progress of the work directly on site and witness discoveries that usually remain hidden from public view.
