Abstract:
The contribution summarizes the results of surface prospection of the author on the years 2016–2019 in the region of the Moravian Karst and its environs, focusing on the production and mining objects related to the production of lime and building ceramic. Six areas in total can be related to the districts of manorial building workshops, taking part on the construction of manorial buildings in the course of the middle age and early modern history (the ecclesiastic site of Order of Minims in Vranov and Princes of Lichtenstein, Ronov castle and Nový hrad castle manors, the ecclestic site of Zabrdovice Premonstratensians, Jedovnice and Holštejn manors). Some mutual relations of the production facilities and buildings (churches, monasteries, castles, manor houses) point to new historical facts, which would however have to be verified by archaeological field work to refine the information.
