Troja Palace - by Michal Pick on Google





Description
Troja Palace (Zámek Troja) was designed in the northern outskirts of Prague for the Counts of Sternberg by architect Jean Baptiste Mathey in the late 17th century. The Baroque façade is complemented by a grand staircase with sculpted statues along the central axis of a formal French garden. Inside, the main room is decorated with a fresco painted by the Godijn brothers using a trompe-l'œil perspective. Nowadays, the palace is used to exhibits the 19th century Czech art collections of the City Gallery.
