Litomyšl: the arcade palace and the service ensemble

Useful to know

Litomyšl Palace is an example of a Renaissance arcade type developed by Italian models in Central Europe in the 16th century. UNESCO also notes later Baroque elements and preserved service structures. [1]

The arcade can be read simultaneously as a repeating facade form and as an organization of the movement. Compare a view of the courtyard with a general plan. Then check which structures support the residence. The palace is a system of representative and everyday functions; if you look only at the decorated facade, some of the spatial logic remains invisible.
