Description
A view from Kuks Hospital with two of Braun's sculptures of Virtues and Vices, in the Czech Republic, or Czechia.
Kuks is a small village situated in East Bohemia, that was known for the purported medicinal qualities of the local springs. In the late 1600's and early 1700's a wealthy count developed the area into what he hoped would be a world renown health spa. One of the buildings he constructed was an army veterans hospital. Since 1946, the hospital building has been used as a museum of baroque art and Czech pharmacy. Currently owned by the state, the hospital was declared a National Monument of the Czech Republic in 1995.
