Riding School
The Baroque facade of the Prague Castle Riding School from the late 17th century forms nearly entire one
side of the streed called U Prasneho mostu (By the Powder Bridge), which runs to Prague Castle from
the northern side, via Deer Moat.
In the mid- 20th century the Riding School was converted into an exhibition hall.
At the same time garages were built on the area of the open summer riding school. A garden was laid out on their roofing which affords an interesting and unusual view of St. Vitus Cathedral and a part of the northern bulwarks of Prague Castle.
The Chapel of the Holy Cross in Prague Castle’s Second Courtyard houses an extraordinary display of masterpieces amassed from the 11th century for the St. Vitus Church and Cathedral treasury.
