I am not sure, whether it can be called " castle" in English. I think that castle is always fortified. Therefore I suggest renaming it to " château". Jan.Kamenicek 10:06, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
I was working in Kromeriz for 10 years, been everywhere, seen everything :-) - but what is "Pleasure Garden"? There are TWO gardens associated with Castle - one directly under the Castle is called "Podzamecka zahrada" (English park style) and the one sligtly away from castle, on the higher grounds (therefore not damaged by recent floods) is called "Kvetna zahrada" and is in distinctly French "Versailles" style. When writing about those things, put more trust in people who were there and actually seen it. I never was in Tibet = therefore I do not write about Tibet. :-) Ross.Hedvicek 16:25, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
In Czech it is called "Květná zahrada" while in German it is "Lustgarten". Because there is probably no English name, a translation is necessary. I personally would prefer "Flower Garden" as a translation of the Czech name, because it is a garden in the Czech Republic. "Pleasure Garden" would be more acceptable to me only if there was some evidence of a longer tradition of using this name, similarly to the long tradition of using the name "Lustgarten" in German. The official site of the palace uses the translation "Flower Garden", too. Jan.Kamenicek 18:15, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
"...bishop Stanislas Thurzo in 1497. The building was in a Late Gothic style, with a modicum of Renaissance detail." The presence even of a modicum of Renaissance detail in 1497 is an extraordinary fact that needs to be made more clear. -- Wetman 20:11, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
