Troja Palace, Baroque palace in Troja district, Czech Republic.
Troja Palace is a Baroque structure with a monumental two-winged staircase connecting the main building to formal gardens below. The gardens feature terracotta vases and decorative stucco details that frame the outdoor spaces.
Count Václav Vojtech of Šternberk commissioned construction in 1679 under architects Jean Baptiste Mathey and Giovanni Domenico Orsi. The building rose as a country estate reflecting the wealth and artistic vision of its patron.
The main hall is decorated with frescoes created by Dutch painters Abraham and Izaak Godijn showing the victory over the Turks near Vienna. These artworks dominate the interior and tell of political triumphs from that era.
The interior holds art exhibitions managed by the Prague City Gallery, while gardens are mainly open during warmer months. Visitors should allow time to explore both the interior rooms and outdoor grounds.
The garden staircase displays sculptures by Johann Georg and Paul Heermann depicting a mythological battle between gods and Titans. These sculptural works show Jupiter and Minerva observing the conflict, adding a narrative layer to the outdoor setting.
