... Nice aerial view of one of the oldest stud farms in the world and at the same time the home of the oldest original Czech horse breed, the Old Kladrub horse... it is designed exclusively for the breeding and training of these horses, which were used in ceremonies by the Habsburg imperial court... probably as the only breed in the world - specifically for pulling coaches of emperors and kings... even today, Kladrubers fulfill their initial role of ceremonial horses mainly at the royal courts in Denmark and Sweden as well as during the official ceremonies in the Czech Republic.... the extensive terrain consists of three farms and a landscape park... you can enjoy a guided tour of the stables, of the coach room with the Kladruber Horse Exhibit, and the Chateau or climb up a hill with a viewing tower offering a unique view of the stud and its surroundings...with lovely matching stamp👍...Thanks Helen!

The tradition of horse breeding in Kladruby nad Labem stretches back to at least the mid 14thC. For over 300 years (1579–1918) it was an imperial court stud providing horses for the royal and imperial court in Prague and Vienna and covers an area of over 3,000 acres.
Nowadays the National Stud keeps around 500 horses. 250 white Old Kladrubers are bred in the historic site of Kladruby nad Labem and 250 black Old Kladrubers are bred in Slatiňany, a former stud of the princely family of Auersperg, located about 40 kilometres east of Kladruby nad Labem.
Together the stud farm and this unique countryside were registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List as of 2019.
