Binder, Filip ; Županič, Jan (advisor) ; Kuthan, Jiří (referee)
The thesis deals with historicism in architecture using the example of Prince Johann Adolf zu Schwarzenberg and Hluboká (Frauenberg) Castle, which Schwarzenberg rebuilt.

The study deals with the conception of the castle as a "family museum", symbolism that can be seen in this "museum", other building projects influenced by Schwarzenberg's Hluboká and the relation between early capitalism and historicism in connection with Johann Adolf's entrepreneurial activities, too.

That is why not only Schwarzenberg and Hluboká will be mentioned, but also other seats of aristocracy and their creators. The primary sources consist of Prince's two travel diaries, which...
