| Description | The goal of the present contribution is to characterize two types of Early Modern reconstruction and redefinition of the presentation of the House of Liechtenstein. In the Early Modern Period the Liechtensteins consistently reconstructed their own image based on the architecture and artistic form of their own princely residences. From the 19th century onwards, the chateau as the place of family memory had to be redefined and the long history of the family likewise required new representation. The present article attempts to delimit two modes of the above presentation. The first of them contains the creation of the early modern self-presentation of the Liechtensteins of the longue durée of the family through the historization and musealization of the chateau residence in the 19th and the early 20th century using the examples of the Liechtenstein Castle in Lower Austria and the Lednice Chateau in south Moravia. The second part of the text manifests the construction of a new image of the Liechtensteins using the examples of the chateaus of Bučovice and Lednice. It focuses on the period after 1918 and then after 1945 when the organs of care of the national monuments opened the Liechtenstein residences to wider public and constructed the image of the family in congruence with contemporary ideological and scholarly principles. |
