Construction / Civil Engineering
Celý zámecký areál je ojedinělou ucelenou ukázkou venkovské *reprezentativní rezidence* ve stylu pozdního vídeňského klasicismu a empíru v českých zemích, zároveň je dokladem životního stylu a ambic přední osobnosti tehdejší evropské vrcholné politiky, jakou byl kancléř Metternich.
What do they mean by "reprezentativní" - "imposing", "impressive" or something more specific?
I doubt they mean "characteristic/typical" if they're saying it's the only one!

: As per your explanation, that's the point. "reprezentativní" means "intended to impress", not "impressive", and while "impressive" works in some cases, that is not the primary meaning here. If only "impressivable" were a word. :-)

country residence
I belive that anything like "representative" is redundant in English as "residence" as such means "representativní rezidence" nad "country" is correct for "venkovský"

"Pro svou unikátní architekturu, originální exteriér dochovaný v autentické podobě a *reprezentativní* interiéry představuje zámek v Litomyšli ..."
I have trouble with these words "reprezentativní" and "reprezentační" (both used - more than I've ever seen before - in this long text). Both of them often end up as "representative" (or "representational") in translations into English, and it often looks strange in English.
