Popularization note

Historical names: The Riding Stable
Time of construction: 1889-1904
Architects: Amand Bauqué

Description:
During the major renovation and modernisation works under the 3rd entailer Roman Potocki, following the demolition of the stables and two coach houses erected in the 1830s, a neo-baroque Stables building was constructed with a neighbouring modernist Coach House building with classicist elements – both designed by a French architect Amand Bauqué. Between them, there is a parade stable yard and an open manege in front of the Stables. Work on creating the new equestrian complex lasted from 1891 to 1904. In 1902, the Coach House was erected, its arranging lasted until 1904. A riding stable was finally built in the west wing - on the plan of an elongated rectangle covered with a segmental vault with four semicircular windows in the upper part of the northern wall and two in the southern part. The entrance to the feed corridor (with stalls alongside it) leads through the sliding door from the Hall. Double doors are leading to auxiliary rooms at the end of the aisle in the western wall. In 1894, R.Ph. Waagner from Vienna installed 11 stalls and six boxes for riding horses, and in 1904 dismantled ten stalls in the west part; and instead of putting five boxes and thus changing this part of the stable from the haul-riding stables to just riding stables, they left one odd stall from 1894. The Waagner company installed the elements they manufactured: box walls and doors, chutes, water supply and sewage devices, etc. The floor in the newly created boxes and in the only stall was laid in clinker bricks38. Earlier, in 1894, the floor was made of ceramic tiles in the boxes and the forage corridor.
