Rosenberg palace
Due to renovation work on the building, the Rosenberg Palace exhibition is currently closed. The exhibition "Gifts for the President from Nearby and Faraway Lands II" will remain open during the renovation.
The newly reopened permanent exhibition guides visitors through the premises of the original Renaissance palace of the Rosenberg family, dating from 1545–1574. Acquired by Emperor Rudolf II in 1600, it remained unchanged until the mid-18th century, when it underwent radical reconstruction to house the Institute of Noblewomen. The palace features a late-Baroque chapel dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.
Until 1989, the premises of the Institute of Noblewomen at Prague Castle were largely unexplored. During the eleven-year restoration process, conducted in eight stages, several wall paintings were uncovered and meticulously restored, while intrusive partitions, lowered ceilings, and other disruptive alterations were removed.
The interior of the Institute of Noblewomen showcases period furniture, paintings, and everyday objects from the collections of Prague Castle. Among the historical artefacts, visitors can view historical furnishings from the Baroque period, alongside more recent interior elements from the Classical and Empire periods, as well as rare goldsmith works. An exhibition in the salon vividly brings to life furnishings and daily activities from back when the premises served as the Institute of the Noblewomen.
