Annotation

The design of the entrance building to Zvířetice Castle is located immediately behind the entrance gate. Currently, there is an inadequate kiosk here. The building is single-storey and respects the current state of the castle to the maximum extent. It contains a room for an office and ticket sales, a storage area and two independent toilets. On the side of the main wall, it is connected by a new staircase, which will make the tower accessible via the walkway above the gate. Thanks to this, access to the tower can be limited in time during the castellan's absence. The building itself can also be closed outside the opening hours of the castle. Sliding screens will protect all sensitive places, especially windows openings, and the object is thus secured against possible intrusion by vandals.
