Troja Palace

Troja Palace (Trojský zámek) is a late 17th-century Baroque palace in Prague’s Troja district, known for its ornate interiors and extensive formal gardens. The building and gardens form a major example of Baroque residential architecture in the city.

The palace interior contains large frescoed rooms and richly decorated chambers open to the public, while the terraced formal gardens descend toward the Vltava River and include statues, clipped parterres and garden buildings. The site is used for both permanent displays of Baroque art and rotating exhibitions organized by the Prague City Gallery.

Designed and built in the late 17th century, the palace exemplifies Baroque aristocratic architecture and garden planning of the period. Over subsequent centuries it has been preserved and adapted for public cultural use, including exhibitions and events.

Situated on the northern bank of the Vltava in Prague 7 (Troja), the palace stands upstream from central Prague and is adjacent to the city’s zoo and riverside promenades.
