Today we commemorate the birthday of a personality who had an indelible influence on the appearance of the Lednice complex and the entire world of writing instruments. Joseph Hardtmuth was not only a talented architect behind the iconic buildings in Lednice, but also a visionary and founder of the world-famous Koh-i-noor Hardtmuth empire.

Hardtmuth's contribution lay in his unique combination of technical precision and artistic sensibility, which can be seen at every turn in our complex. In honor of this combination, we have prepared a selection of art supplies for you at the central ticket office of Lednice Castle, with which you can bring your own ideas to life.

You can purchase professional graphic pencils (ideal for technical sketches and shading), art crayons (for schoolchildren and demanding artists), or watercolor sets (for delicate and dreamy paintings with a touch of history).
