The Lichtenstein Family Summer Chateau
For everyone who has ever wished that they could have a summer house, I offer these suggestions for decorating your “cottage…”
On a more serious note, the Lichtenstein family enjoyed this home for many years, but even though the Communists used it to store horses, it was the Czech law that gave it to the state for use as a museum. They’ve been just a tiny dot on the European map ever since.Â
Note the spiral staircase, carved from a single oak tree. Impressive. Also fascinating is the minaret, which has nothing to do with a family affiliation with Muslim religion…but simply a wish to impress the neighbors with the novelty of it all. The 302 steps to the top offer a wonderful view of what used to be their kingdom.
