Fürstenberská zahrada

The Fürstenberg Garden is a terraced garden in Malá Strana that descends along a southern slope and connects several levels. The space features planted areas, fountains, and structured paths that offer visitors various perspectives on the castle.

The site developed from vineyards and was converted into a maintained garden in the early 18th century. In the 19th century, a prominent architect introduced English park design principles that have shaped its basic form since.

The name reflects the Fürstenberg family, who owned the property during the 18th century. Visitors today use the space to rest in maintained areas and observe the artistic installations that shape the grounds.

The garden is accessible on most days and offers easy entry from several points in Malá Strana. It is best explored on foot by following the marked paths to safely navigate through the different levels.

The garden owes its distinctive feature to a fountain designed by a skilled artist in the 18th century that remains the centerpiece. This water feature is often overlooked by visitors despite telling a story of local craftsmanship.
