When, in the middle of the 13th century, the Liechtenstein family acquired their first land in Lednice, they suddenly owned as yet unused meadows and swamps, annually flooded by the Dyje river.
By the time when, seven hundred years later, the Liechtensteins were leaving the estate, the swamps had been reclaimed and a singular complex of structures large and small had been erected between Lednice and the neighbouring Valtice, like gems fitted in a huge mosaic of rivers, canals and parks.
In 1666-1669, Karl Eusebius of Liechtenstein had an Early Baroque residence constructed in Lednice, having moved here from Valtice.

From the economic point of view, Karl Eusebius has the merit of reconstructing the Liechtenstein dominions devastated in the Thirty Years' War and of maintaining them in times of trouble.
