THE KUKS HOSPITAL
a unique Baroque monument
of central European
town-planning, architecture
and statuary art.
The only remaining rembrance
of the old glory and monumentality is the still standing Hospital of Brothers Hospitallers surrounded by jewels of European art - Braun´s sculptures of Virtues and Vices.
In the present building of Hospital, the visitors will find the originals of the allegories, a Baroque apothecary´s, the Czech Pharmaceutical Museum, a crypt of the Hospital´s founder, František Antonín Špork, and many other things.
In the near vicinity you will find Braun´s Nativity - a natural park with a gallery of Baroque sculptures, depicting Biblical scenes, in Nový les near Žireč.
