Wallenstein Palace

Wallenstein Palace Overview & Key Highlights

Wallenstein Palace, an early Baroque masterpiece constructed between 1623 and 1630, serves as the seat of the Czech Senate. Commissioned by Albrecht von Wallenstein, a prominent military leader, the palace was designed to rival Prague Castle in grandeur. Visitors can explore its opulent halls and the adjacent Wallenstein Gardens, which feature meticulously manicured landscapes, fountains, and sculptures.
