The reconstruction of the southern wing of the Farmyard of the Zákupy State Chateau represents an exceptional example of the restoration of a national cultural monument with an emphasis on the sensitive preservation of historical authenticity and the use of original building elements. The Farmyard, designed by the prominent Italian architects Giulio Broggio and Giovanni Domenico Orsi in the 17th century, served as part of a large Baroque complex and is considered one of the most valuable preserved Baroque stables in the Czech Republic.
The aim of the project was not only to save this historically significant building, which was in a serious state of disrepair before the reconstruction, but also to make it accessible to the public again.
The building is two-storey, L-shaped, with a longer southern wing and a shorter eastern wing. The ground floor served as a stable, the space was made up of three grass areas separated by a row of stone columns. It is roofed with brick cross vaults into arched belts. The first floor has two wings with a long, wide corridor leading to the individual rooms - originally used as accommodation for important guests. The gable roof is covered with beaver tile. The floors on the ground floor are brick, on the first floor partly brick and partly plank on wooden cushions. The building was unstable with a subsidence of the perimeter wall and one side of the columns by about 15 cm. The foundations were supported by pressed-in micropiles (Statical system), which were gentle on the historical foundations. This system strengthened the perimeter walls and internal columns.
Furthermore, about 80% of the brick vaults, which were in a state of disrepair due to many years of roof leaks, were walled over. The reconstruction also included the restoration of all window and door panels. One wing of the original door was preserved, according to which copies were made. Public toilets and the castle's operational areas were built into the eastern wing.
The ground floor and the first floor of the southern wing are intended for exhibitions. The garden arrangements towards the castle park were also part of the reconstruction. The aim was to operationally connect the park with the castle grounds, which had been impossible for a long time due to the building's dilapidated condition.
