Lednice Castle was originally a Renaissance villa. In the 17th century it became a summer residence of the ruling Princes of Liechtenstein. The estate house, designed and furbished by baroque architects [[Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach]], [[Domenico Martinelli]], and Anton Johan Ospel, proclaimed rural luxury on the grandest scale. In 1846–1858, it was extensively rebuilt in the [[Gothic Revival architecture|neo-Gothic]] style under the supervision of Georg Wingelmüller.<ref name=history/>

The surrounding park is laid out in an [[English landscape park|English garden]] style and contains a range of Romantic [[folly|follies]] by [[Joseph Hardtmuth]], including the solitary {{convert|60|m|ft}} high minaret from 1802, which is the tallest outside the Muslim world.<ref>{{cite web |title=Lednický minaret je se svými šedesáti metry nejvyšší mimo islámské země|url=https://www.novinky.cz/vase-zpravy/clanek/lednicky-minaret-je-se-svymi-sedesati-metry-nejvyssi-mimo-islamske-zeme-272595|publisher=Novinky.cz|language=cs|date=2015-01-31|access-date=2021-11-29}}</ref>
