Troja Château is indeed a remarkable and exceptional building. In fact, it would be better to call it a villa instead of a château, because it echoes the opulent Roman suburban villas which its builder, Count Wenzel Adalbert of Sternberg, encountered on his long journey.

The construction of the early Baroque Troja Castle was started in 1679, six years before the birth of the most famous Baroque composer J. S. Bach. The commissioner and builder was Count Václav Vojtěch of Sternberg, who was enchanted by the abandoned summer palace in Vaux-le-Vicomte, the typical "maison de plaisance" and the opulent chateau in Fontainebleau.
The author of the first design was Giovanni Domenico Orsi, but he died as soon as construction began. A new architect of French origin, Jean Baptiste Mathey, divided the plan and completed the whole building.
The centre and dominant feature of the whole mass of the building is the great hall, from which a corridor with an enfilade of adjoining salons runs off to either side. The sides of the building are vertically and horizontally terminated by two-storey tower-like belvederes. The painting work on the ground floor was mainly carried out by Carpoforo Tencalla, while Francesco Marchetti and his son Giovanni Francesco worked on the first floor. For the illusory monumental decoration of the great main hall, the builder called on the Flemish painters Abraham and Isaac Godin.

The sculptural decoration of the double staircase leading to the garden was entrusted to the Dresden artists Georg and Paul Hermann and is a fairly faithful reproduction of the Renaissance staircase at Fontainebleau, known from an engraving by the French architect J. A. du Cerceau of 1576. The monumental sculptures adorning the staircase symbolize the struggle between the Titans and the ancient gods. The individual sculptures around the perimeter of the staircase represent the ancient gods, allegories of the seasons and continents.

In 1722, the Sternbergs were forced to sell the castle and the associated farm due to debts, of course, after being removed from the family trust. Thereafter, the owners of the castle changed quite often - at one time, even the Empress Maria Theresa owned the castle in Troja. The chateau regained its former splendour after 1776, when it became the property of the baronial von Astfeld family, whose possession it remained until 1829. Throughout this time it served as a place for excursions and entertainment for prominent Prague citizens. For noble reasons, the last owner of the Astfeld family donated the Troja Sotek and the castle to two Prague hospital orders - the Elizabethans, caring for women, and the Brothers of Mercy, caring for sick men.

However, the small income from the Troja property forced the orders to sell the farm and the castle in 1841, again to noble owners, from whom it fell into the hands of various businessmen at the end of the 19th century. The last of them, Alois Svoboda, a Troja landowner with a broad economic, political and cultural outlook, donated the chateau to the Czechoslovak state in 1922. At first he used it to house the museum exhibition of the Legionary Resistance Memorial, which was moved in 1929 to a new building under Vítkov. Afterwards, an exhibition of modern Czech sculpture was installed there, and in 1952 the ownership of the castle was transferred to the National Gallery.

Between 1977 and 1979 the chateau underwent extensive reconstruction. Due to its location near the river, the lower part of the chateau and the garden were flooded during floods, most recently in 2002 and 2013.
Currently, the owner of the entire castle complex is the City of Prague, which has entrusted it to the Prague City Gallery for exhibition and display purposes.

ZOOna is more than just a multifunctional complex. It is a large outdoor space of industrial character, where you can feel the original atmosphere from the times of the Troja brewery. The area has served as a meeting place for the people of Troja and events since 1928, when the first Sokol festival was held here. The Kolovna's ambition is to breathe new life into the area and continue the historical tradition of building community life in the heart of Troja.

The complex includes a specialized bicycle shop Kolovna, bicycle rental (city electric bikes, premium sports bikes) and ski equipment.
The evening lighting of the complex creates a breathtaking atmosphere, with the historic Troja Brewery building standing out iconically in this light. The venue has its own distinctive character; during the event you will simply lose track of time and forget that you are almost in the city centre.

The afternoon concerts will entertain the whole family. You are at the concert, but outside the concert hall! Come to an informal setting and enjoy Saturday and Sunday pleasant summer afternoon with us!

In 2006, a ten-and-a-half-metre high object in the shape of a horse was created on Císařský ostrov in Bubeneč. Its author is the artist Ivan Nacvalač, who built it from spruce wood in three months with the help of his son and friends. The space inside the animal serves as a gallery. The horse originally stood on the Emperor's Island, from which it was moved to its current location a few years ago. In the adjacent garden with other wooden sculptures, jazz concerts are held in the summer.

The Prague Zoo is located in the beautiful, rugged terrain of the Troja Valley. It is one of the best and most visited Zoos in the world.

However, a concert there is not an everyday affair, especially not at night. The starry sky above you, the howling of wolves in the distance...and the festival ensemble with Josef Špaček, Tomáš Jamník, mezzo-soprano Bella Adamova and actor Martin Myšička in front of you with a programme specially designed for the summer evening open-air atmosphere.

Our concert will take place in the lower part of the Zoo at the “Archa gazebo” (near the children's train) and the meeting point is the main entrance of the Zoo.

The Botanical Garden Prague is a green oasis almost in the centre of Prague. It is a place of relaxation, education, entertainment and pleasure for all your senses. The botanical garden includes the tropical greenhouse Fata Morgana, which has been open to the public for 20 years, and the entironmentaly protected St. Clare's Vineyard.
