It was designed as the seat of the ruling princes of Liechtenstein byJohann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach in the early 18th century. Construction was supervised byDomenico Martinelli , who was employed as an on-site architect. The palace is surrounded by anEnglish park with the Temple of Diana (1812) and other Neoclassical structures. Together with the neighbouring manor ofLednice , to which it is connected by a 7km-long lime-tree avenue, Valtice forms theWorld Heritage Site "Lednice–Valtice Cultural Landscape ".People
