Description was written before the event

Where did nearly 12,000 books from the Rozmberk house disappear to? Is the legend about His Majesty's drinking registers true? Did printed cookbooks exist in the 17th century? And did Petr Vok even read?

This lecture reveals the story of books from the Rozmberk library and their dramatic fate after Petr Vok's death.

About the venue: Zámecká Pharmacy Třeboň

Zámecká lékárna is a cultural and historical centre housed in a Renaissance palace on Masarykovo náměstí in Třeboň. Petr Vok of Rožmberk had the building constructed in 1608 as his library, picture gallery and Kunstkammer; from the 19th century it served as a pharmacy. After extensive renovation, the building opened to the public for the first time in 2022. It now hosts guided and theatrical tours, temporary exhibitions, lectures, and a café with a courtyard.
