Wallenstein Palace on the Lesser Quarter side, Prague, Czech Republic Some background information: Wallenstein Palace derives its name from Albrecht von Wallenstein, the famous Catholic general of the Thirty Years’ War. Albrecht von Wallenstein, Duke of Mecklenburg (1583 to 1634), who made his fortune as the Commander-in-Chief of the imperial forces, built this palace in the years between 1623 and 1630. But he lived in the palace for only a year before his death. His widow sold the building to his nephew and it remained in the Wallenstein family until 1945. By the way this former stately home is also known as Waldstein Palace because Wallenstein’s complete original name was Albrecht Wenzel Eusebius von Waldstein. After the Second World War, the palace became Czechoslovak state property and was renovated to house government offices. Today the Senate of the Czech Republic is based in the main palace buildings. Its most valuable parts in historical and artistic terms are the Main Hall, the Knights' Hall, the Antechamber, the Audience Hall and the Mythological and Astronomical Corridors. It’s striking that the palace has a rather Italian appearance. It arises from the fact that Wallenstein was very impressed by Italian architecture after he had visited Italy. Therefore he engaged mainly Italian architects and artisans to build his palace. Amongst them were Andrea Spezza, Luigi Baccio del Bianco and Giovanni de Galliano Pieroni. To make space for the building, Wallenstein razed 26 houses, six gardens, and two brickworks at the site. Wallenstein Palace was also built to rival Prague Castle. Four courtyards were created by the palace layout. Its complex includes not only period gardens, but also the Avenue of Sculptures, stables and a large Riding School. The monumental conception of the loggia with three arcades on doubled columns recalls the Baroque style. The Italian style park includes an aviary, a grotto, and a fountain by Adrian de Vries. In the right upper corner of this shot you can also see St. Vitus Cathedral as well as a small part of Prague Castle.

Prague, Wallenstein Palace garden Opeth: Windowpane Blank face in the windowpane Made clear in seconds of light Disappears and returns again Counting hours, searching the night Might be waiting for someone Might be there for us to see Might be in need of talking Might be staring directly at me Inside plays a lullaby Slurred voice over children cries On the inside Haunting loneliness in the eye Skin covering a secret scar His hand is waving a goodbye There's no response or action returned There is deep prejudice in me Outshines all reason inside Given dreams all ridden with pain And projected unto the last

The loggia and statues of Greek gods. The current statues are copies as the originals were pinched by marauding Swedes in 1648 and now have a rather more chilly existence I expect outside the royal palace of Drottingholm. Prague Castle and St. Vitus' Cathedral hover over the gardens.
