Gardens were created after the city was destroyed in Thirty Years´ War. Talented Italian architects F. Luches and P. G. Tencalla designed the gardens in Renaissance style with a gallery of statues, antique gods and characters from legends. It is also known under the name Libosad. The chateau of Kromeriz has 2 gardens- the first one is called Podzamecka garden and the second one is Kvetna garden. Kromeriz is a part of UNESCO World Heritage Site.
