Tag Archives: Wallenstein Palace

Wallenstein Palace was the first large building of the Baroque style to be constructed in Prague, and was constructed by Albrecht von Wallenstein, who died in 1634. He was a military commander who won many victories over the Protestants in the 30 Years War and he was soon seen as indispensable to Emperor Ferdinand II. The titles he received weren’t enough for him though; he had eyes for the crown of Bohemia.

The one sight that should be on everyone’s list no matter how much or how little time you have in Prague should be Prague Castle. This building is more than just a castle, it is also a network of outer buildings and beautiful courtyards.
