Magnificent renovated castle, with its dovecote, and its wedding hall surrounded by a 2km garden planted with trees over a hundred years old with a small play area for children, educational vegetable garden. Parkings. Exhibition room. Every 1st Sunday of the month (except August). come and visit the exhibition of tools from other times. To do whether you are passing through or living in Esynes. I take a book and enjoy the peace and nature close to home.

Place is really nice very spacious room which really highlights the works and paintings. The park is beautiful with its majestic trees. The staff was really professional and pleasant. We came to see the exhibition of drawings and paintings made by children from different schools in the town of Eysines. A super nice visit my grandson was delighted that we came to see his magnificent drawing

Jan Hus Memorial

The Jan Hus Memorial stands at one end of Old Town Square. The huge monument depicts victorious Hussite warriors and Protestants who were forced into exile 200 years after Hus, and a young mother who symbolises national rebirth. The monument was so large that the sculptor designed and built his own villa and studio where the work could be carried out. It was unveiled in 1915 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Jan Hus' martyrdom. The memorial was designed by Ladislav Šaloun and paid for solely by public donations.

Born in 1369, Hus became an influential religious thinker, philosopher, and reformer in Prague. He was a key predecessor to the Protestant movement of the sixteenth century. In his works he criticized religious moral decay of the Catholic Church. Accordingly, the Czech patriot Hus believed that mass should be given in the vernacular, or local language, rather than in Latin. He was inspired by the teachings of John Wycliffe.
