Albrecht von Wallenstein built this palace between 1624 and 1630. His intention was to overshadow the Prague Castle. Wallenstein purchased 23 houses, 3 gardens and a kiln and had them demolished to build the palace. It is now the Senate of the Czech Republic.
The Grotesquery is a strange imitation of the walls of a limestone cave
The Sala Terrena is where Wallenstein dined
