Wallenstein Garden Overview & Key Highlights

Wallenstein Garden is part of the Wallenstein Palace, an early Baroque masterpiece constructed between 1623 and 1630. It serves as a serene retreat in the heart of Prague. Commissioned by Albrecht von Wallenstein, a prominent military leader, the garden was designed to complement the adjacent Wallenstein Palace. Visitors can explore its meticulously manicured landscapes, fountains, sculptures, and unique artificial grotto.
