This was apparently a designated Baroque weekend as we decided to go to this 17-century palace out near the zoo today. It is now home to a collection of 19th-century Czech art, but stands as one of the greatest examples of Baroque architecture in the Czech Republic. It also happens to be one of the oldest.
The home itself was not open, but the gardens and grounds were. It backs up to the lightly flowing Vltava River and has acres of gardens surrounding it. The staircase that comes cascading down from the back of the house is nothing short of spectacular. It is adorned by a dozen or more statues and looks like the most original part of the home.
The fountain in the middle of the back gardens is nice too, but the staircase was definitely the highlight of the area.
