Rehabilitace areálu kláštera Hájek u Červeného Újezdu
Káchová, Nikola
The Fransciscan monastery Hájek with the oldest loreto in the Czech Republic, which was built on behalf of the aristocratic family Žďárský from Žďár by Italian architects Carlo Lurago and Giovanni Domenico Orsi, has been standing in a town of Červený Újezd near Prague for almost four hundred years. The history of the monastery was affected by the totalitarian regime in years 1950 to 1989, when the Czechoslovakian army overran the place and, on the order of the Ministry of National Defence, transformed the area into a munition warehouse. Despite the irreversible harm done in the past century, early baroque elements are still visible in the area and – together with the mature grove and long history of the monastery – they contribute towards a unique genius loci of the place. The present work focuses on the monastery gardens and proposes a new design that is based on detailed historical and present analyses of the place. The author considers demands of the user and the Heritage Institute, proposing a gardens design that combines symmetry and splendour, which are typical for early baroque gardens, with the natural elements in their pure state whose importance was stressed by St. Francis himself.
