Ráby hunting lodge

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Perníková chaloupka

The hunting lodge Ráby is a former hunting lodge in the municipality of Ráby in the Czech Republic . It has housed a gingerbread museum since 2003 and is marketed as Perníková chaloupka ( gingerbread house ). Since the 1990s there has been frequent confusion with the listed Renaissance hunting lodge owned by the Lords of Pernstein in Ráby.

location

The hunting lodge (house no. 38) is located on the southwest slope of the Kunětická hora ( Kunietice Mountain , 307 m nm) in the Kunětický les ( Kunietice Forest ). It is located together with two outbuildings - the former stable and caretaker's house (house no.58) and the modern White House (house no.151), which is now used as a guest house - on a fenced wooded property on the right side of the road from Ráby to Němčice . The facility also includes the former guard house (house no. 40) located directly on the street.

description

The Franz Schmoranz d. J. designed and realized the wooden hunting lodge in the Swiss house style stands on a high stone base. On the west side a staircase leads to the carved gallery on the mezzanine floor. There are two risalits on the east side.

The historical interior of the hunting lodge and the stable and caretaker's house (houses no. 38 and 58) was largely lost during the boarding school and home use in the second half of the 20th century. Both buildings were taken over in a 1970s hospital style . Since 2003, the interior of the building has been redesigned into a fairytale gingerbread house and a gingerbread museum has been opened. The historical murals have been restored on the first floor of the Jagdschlösschen. The White House is used as a clubhouse, guesthouse and training center.

history

The industrialist Richard von Drasche-Wartinberg , who in 1881 had bought the manor of Pardubitz with Kunburg from his father's inheritance, had the hunting lodge built on the slope of the Kunietitz mountain in 1882 as a representative seat for the noble guests of his parforce companies . The architect and builder Franz Schmoranz the Elder. J. built and equipped the hunting lodge within a year. It consisted of 25 living rooms and eight rooms for servants. To the northwest of it a farm building with horse stables and the apartment of the manager was built, to the west at the entrance a guard's house. Drasche-Wartinberg had a park with valuable foreign trees, especially Douglas firs and firs, laid out around the castle.

After the establishment of Czechoslovakia , all of Drasche-Wartinberg's real estate was expropriated on June 16, 1919 on the basis of Act No. 215/1919 Sb on the confiscation of large estates. The hunting lodge, together with the Kunietitz Forest, the tavern in Hradiště na Písku and other properties, was transferred to the General Director of the Moravian Agricultural and Industrial Bank in Brno, František Aschenbrenner and his wife Marie, in October 1922. In November 1938 Miloslava Sudková from Bílá Třemešná bought the hunting lodge with the farm buildings and the surrounding forests. She converted it into a guesthouse and sanatorium with 28 single to four-bed rooms and social rooms and leased it to her brother-in-law Jaroslav Sudek. The composer Josef Bohuslav Foerster was one of the guests who returned several times in 1941 and 1942 . Against the will of the operator, the property was used for two years from September 1942 as a rest home for the Kinderlandverschickung and the Hitler Youth .

After the February revolution of 1948, there was another expropriation and nationalization. From 1953 to 1955 it served as a boarding school for the State Labor Reserves (SPZ) technical college , after which the Sisters of the Divine Redeemer ( Kongregace sester Nejsvetejsiho Spasitele ) ran an old people's home and, from 1965, a social welfare facility for young people with mental disabilities. From that time on, the area was fenced in again. In the 1970s, the so-called White House - a modern office and business building - was built southeast of the Jagdschlösschen. In the 1980s, a large kitchen and dining room were added. At the beginning of the 1980s, the nuns had to leave the facility; it was continued under state control. After the Velvet Revolution, the fenced-in area was returned to Petr Mlejnek, a grandson of Miloslava Sudková, in a neglected state in the 1990s. After the disabled facility moved to the newly built "Domov pod Kuňkou" on the southern outskirts of Ráby in August 2000, the hunting lodge remained unused for a few years. In 2003 the company Kam na Pardubicku sro leased the site. The entrepreneurial family Šorm had the run-down buildings gradually renovated and made use of their right of first refusal.

A new spatial planning adopted by the Ráby municipal council in 2014, which limited the public and commercial areas within the castle grounds to a quarter of the previous area in favor of the RBC 1758 biocenter outside the area, led to disputes between the municipality and the owners, who decided on the legal See the basis for a third expropriation. A petition with 20,300 signatures, including the actors Jan Přeučil and Eva Hrušková and the politicians Petr Bajer, Petr Mach , Miluše Horská, Roman Línek and Hana Demlová, to change the spatial plan was handed over to the Mayor of Ráby in October 2017. In November 2017, the Brno Constitutional Court recognized the deletion of the audio recordings of the municipal council meeting after the application for annulment had been received as illegal.
