Laval, Filip ; Klápště, Jan (advisor) ; Žemlička, Josef (referee) ; Unger, Josef (referee)
Archaeology of the fortified manor in the Czech lands To the beginnings of the medieval fortified residences The work is dedicated to the medieval fortified manor in the Czech lands with regard to the need to formulate new questions. He marginally considers the questions of actual and historical terminology and its semantic content. To explore the functions of the fortified manors the structure of the associated settlement is discussed. A substantial testimony is attributed to some of selected written sources pointing to the legal-historical or jurisdictional context of "private" fortified settlements/residences. A separate chapter is devoted to the analysis of several examples of archaeological research from the Czech lands and from western parts of Europe, which revealed situations classifiable to fortified manor, respectively castles, which was preceded by much less or not at all fortified settlements, while maintaining close spatial continuity. So the questions concerning the beginnings of that type settlements are pronounced. With this packet of problems the work deals applying a comparative analysis that leads to some reassessment of the importance of the Romanesque church with the western tower as a kind of reduction of the castle model known from contemporary (12th century) Western European regions...

Based on the Example of the Hluboká nad Vltavou Manor, Adam Franz of Schwarzenberg´s Residential Strategy at the Beginning of the 18th Century
IVANEGA, Jan
The Thesis Based on the Example of the Hluboká nad Vltavou Manor, Adam Franz of Schwarzenberg´s Residential Strategy at the Beginning of the 18th Century deals with research of usage ways of the Hluboká nad Vltavou manor in the era of Adam Franz of Schwarzenberg. The core of the debate is the commentary on the three mansions demonstrably used by the aristocracy ? the Hluboká nad Vltavou castle, Ohrada hunting mansion, and Libníč spa complex. The study, built up on the analysis of correspodence, prime-source plan and accounting documents, has proved that the Hluboká nad Vltavou manor was the main Czech property of the family before inheriting Eggenberg´s property in 1719. Its importance, given among others by the geographical position, was emphasized by building of the Ohrada hunting mansion. This served, among others, as a storage of hunting tools that were demonstrably used in other South Bohemian manors as well. I consider extensive adjustments of the castle area as further evidence of the prominent status of the Hluboká nad Vltavou Castle; especially building of the votive chapel in the expanded Libníč spa that served to the inhabitants of all the concerned manors. After gaining Eggenber property, the centre of Schwarzenberg´s stays in South Bohemia moved to Český Krumlov; and the Hluboká mansion lost its priviliged status after Adam František of Schwarzenberg´s death.

Building history of the castle in Horažďovice
KUBOVÁ, Tereza
The topic of this thesis is Building history of the castle in Horažďovice. I focus on history and development of this building and I provide relatively detailed enumeration of local holders (who also influenced the building development and all artistic activities there). The castle ground has been rebuilt and changed many times during centuries. The biggest part of my work is devoted to these changes. At first, the fortified medieval residence was rebuilt into renaissance mansion and then into early baroque representative castle. The text is divided by particular reconstruction into units, which are hereafter divided into smaller units, that are devoted to the holders or the lineage and their history. The aim of this work is to contribute to better knowledge of the aristocratic residence in Horažďovice, which makes a considerable part of Czech artistic and cultural heritage. My aim was to provide another view, than is offered in monographic books or articles, which are concerned with this topic.

Paul Ignatz Bayer, Adam Frantz Prince of Schwartzenberg and Chateau of Ohrada as a part of the Residence Network of the Baroque Nobleman
IVANEGA, Jan
The Bachelor Thesis Pavel Ignác Bayer, Adam František from Schwarzenberg and Ohrada Lodge. The hunting lodge as part of the baroque nobleman´s residential net deals with the examitation of the Hunting Lodge Ohrada in a wider cultural and historical context. Jan Ivanega focuses on research of the builder´s intellectual world, and its reflection in the specific Ohrada building task. The analysis of the research sources (correspondence, bills, plans from State Archive Třeboň) has proofed that building of Ohrada Lodge was not a creative act of the only one person but a combination of a wide range of factors, from the builder´s own wishes over the economic possibilities of the domaine, to the architect and craftsmen´s abilities. The author has taken advantage of until today unknown stock for reconstruction of the original image, operation of seperated parts of the complex, and its placement into a wider landscape framework. He concludes the work by considering a possible use of the Ohrada Lodge after finishing its construction, and its placement within the Schwarzenberg´s residential net.
