Stud Farm in the Czech Republic.

Kladruby nad Labem was first mentioned in 1295 as the property of the Premonstratensian monastery at Litomyšl. During the second half of the 14th century, it came into the possession of the Cistercian Sedlec Abbey near Kutná Hora.

In 1500, the village was acquired by Vilém II of Pernštejn, who already owned large parts of the Pardubice region. Kladruby remained in possession of the Pernštejn family until 1560, when it was purchased by Emperor Ferdinand I from his master of the horse, Jaroslav of Pernštejn.

In 1579, Emperor Rudolf II established the Imperial Stud at Kladruby, from which Spanish-blood horses were bred for ceremonial purposes. Following the fall of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy in 1918, the stud farm at Kladruby came under state administration.
