Diana (Rozvadov)

Diana (German: Dianaberg) is an almost abandoned settlement located in the forests south-east of Rozvadov municipality, Tachov District, Czech Republic. The population is around 30 people. The area of Diana, today a part of Rozvadov, consists also of a former glasshouse and a large defunct woodworking factory. A hunting mansion Diana (first mentioned in 1742) is situated in the settlement. The mansion, which is owned by the noble Kolowrat family, was named after the goddess of hunting.[1] Its project is sometimes attributed to the Czech-Italian architect Jan Santini Aichel. The adjacent natural reserve Diana (since 1933) consists of one of the oldest and most valuable beech tree forests in the Upper Palatine Forest.[2]
