Pálffy garden, Garden in Malá Strana, Prague.
The Pálffy Garden extends across seven terrace levels on the southern slopes of Prague Castle connected by staircases. Fruit trees and decorative plants grow throughout the site, defining the Baroque design of the landscape.
The garden originated in the 18th century when Jan Josef of Valdštejn merged two houses into a palace. Maria Anna of Fürstenberg shaped it into its current form in 1751.
The garden is part of the Palace Gardens Below Prague Castle complex and displays European Baroque design with ornamental staircases and pavilions. Visitors experience the symmetrical layouts and artistic details that define this architectural period.
The garden is accessible daily with various pathways through the terrace levels, some of which are steep. Sturdy footwear is recommended, especially during wet or slippery conditions.
A sundial with an inscription from 1751 stands in the middle of the garden and marks time among pear, apple, and sour cherry trees. This detail reveals how function and beauty were linked in Baroque gardens.
