Rosenberg Palace

The permanent exhibition takes visitors to the premises of the originally Renaissance palace of the Lords of Rosenberg, built between 1545 and 1574. In 1600, the palace became the property of Emperor Rudolph II and remained in its original form until the mid-18th century, when it was radically rebuilt into the Institute of Noblewomen. It also includes the late Baroque Chapel of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.

Until 1989, the Institute of Noblewomen was an unexplored space of Prague Castle. Subsequently, during the eight stages of its eleven-year restoration, a number of wall paintings were uncovered and restored, but additional partitions, lowered ceilings and other disturbing modifications were also removed.

The interior of the Institute of Noblewomen is furnished with period furniture, paintings and other utility items from the collections of Prague Castle. Among the historical artifacts, visitors to the palace will see equipment from the Baroque era, as well as newer interior elements from the turn of Classicism and Empire style or rare goldsmith's works. The exhibition in the salon presents the furnishings and activities from the time when the premises served as the Institute of Noblewomen.
