About the venue: Baroque Complex Kuks

The Baroque Complex Kuks is a national cultural monument in Trutnov District, founded by Count Franz Anton von Sporck at the end of the 17th century. Its centrepiece is the hospital with the Church of the Holy Trinity, sculptures by Matthias Braun, and one of the oldest Baroque pharmacies in Europe. Managed by the National Heritage Institute, it offers exhibitions on Baroque art, history, and pharmacy. A major restoration in 2010–2015 earned the complex the Europa Nostra Grand Prix.
