HISTORY OF THE FIELD
Already in 1829 the Forestry Office of Svijany presented to His Serene Highness Prince Carl Rohan a project for establishing branches in the Žehrovka forest district. After its approval until mid-1831, part of the forest with an area of 517 acres and 1,218 square yards (less than 298.5 hectares) was partially enclosed by walls, partly by chopped battens (dike) and there was built a gamekeeper’s lodge called Bellevue.
This area still exists today and is focused on breeding mouflon and fallow deer. One chronicle also describes one of the Rohan family traditions: His Serene Highness Prince Benjamin Rohan and Her Serene Highness Princess Stephanie of Rohan, Mothers name Croy, got married Oct. 3, 1825, whenever the heavens blessed their marriage with a son an oak tree was planted, the first oak was planted June 13, 1826 and the last in December 9, 1835, all together five oaks and they are still there in this beautiful place called “At the five princes.”
