    The home of General Albrecht von Wallenstein. He knocked down two dozen houses to make room for his expansive backyard; a Baroque style garden with a strictly geometrical design.

    The loud cries that can be heard throughout the gardens come from the resident peacocks that can be seen strolling the grounds.

    The construction of the Wallenstein Palace was commissioned by General Albrecht Vaclav Eusebius of Wallenstein as his Prague residence. Unfortunately the general only lived in the palace for 12 months between 1630 until his death in 1634. The palace remained in the hands of the Wallenstein family until 1945 when it became state property. It was renovated and now houses a meeting chamber and offices of the senate. The beautiful gardens are at the back of the palace and one of the features is an amazing piece of sculpture work, ‘The Grotto’ which is a huge dripstone wall.
    The gardens are open from April 1 to Oct. 31 from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. They are closed in the winter. The palace is open to the public all year on Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Entrance to both is free.

    One of the beautiful Prague gardens.
    The garden is wallet off from the town, so you can have a nice rest in the middle of the city.
    Fountains, small lake statues, peacocks, magnolias, roses...
    The garden is open April to October from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m..

    The Wallenstein Palace is located in the Mala Strana neighborhood, just below the Prague Castle. The palace, which is a government building, is not open to the public. However, tourists are free to stroll through its attractive gardens. The highlights of the gardens include the sala terrana (a portico with a beautiful painted ceiling), the grotto wall, the fishpond and the statues.

    The Wallenstein Gardens and Palace are must see for anyone wandering around the Mala Strana. The palace was built in the 1620's by Albrecht of Wallenstein, a leading general of the Thirty Years War. The gardens have lovely fountains and ponds flanked by hedges and floors. Probably the most unusual attraction within the garden grounds is the dripstone wall which is suppose to resemble a grotto. The interior of the palace houses the Senate of the Czech Republic and is not open to the public. It is free to wander around the gardens.

    You can find the Wallenstein Gardens behind a 30-foot wall in the Malá Strana district. It is lovely baroque park where you can walk along fountains and bronze statues, which by the way are copies because the original ones were stolen by Swedes back in the 17th century. There is also a fake grotto. The garden is open May to September, daily from 9am to 7pm.
