History
The Vrtba Garden is a Class 1 cultural monument registered in the UNESCO World Heritage List and is the property of the City of Prague.
Together with three other Baroque gardens (Vratislav, Schönborn and Lobkowicz), the Vrtba Garden is situated on the slope of Petřín Hill and is one of the most precious of Prague's Baroque gardens. This Italian-style Baroque terrace garden was built for Jan Josef, Count of Vrtba, the Highest Burgrave of Prague Castle, near Vrtba Palace in 1715 - 1720. The ingenious layout, which is proof of convincing style interpretation, was designed by František Maxmilián Kaňka, a Prague native, who cooperated in the creation of this masterpiece with sculptor Matyáš Bernard Braun, whose workshop supplied statue and sculpture decorations, and painter Václav Vavřinec Reiner, the author of the frescoes. The surprising effect of the garden's composition is based on the gradation of the terrace plateaus interconnected by stairways and borne by supporting walls shaped in curves typical of the Baroque style.
The bottom section of the garden, with a round pool in the middle and a putto statute on a sea monster, is situated between the Sala Terrena on the north side of the Palace's south wing and an aviary, which forms a mirror-opposite decorative scene. The Sala Terrena, a typical connection between the Palace and the garden, is decorated with Reiner's frescoes and statues of Bacchus and Cerera by Matyáš Bernard Braun.

The garden's central axis runs at a right angle to the shorter axis, connecting Sala Terrena and the aviary, ascending along the steep north-eastern slope. In addition to the balancing stairways, it is also fastened in the middle section by a round pool and an arc-shaped scene wall. On the central terrace with a round pool in the middle is a high retaining wall of typically Baroque round segments, with a balustrade and a two-wing stairway. This solution was not only to deal with the considerable difference in elevation but also as a stage for effectively presenting the statues of ancient gods and relief-decorated vases (1720 - 1725). Towards its upper sections, the garden narrows and culminates at the highest southwest end with the terminal three-wing arc scene. The central wing is surrounded by grotto shells and emphasized by an arc-shaped gable with a relief of water divinities. Initially, there was a fresco on it. In the side wings, we see rectangular recesses, again with grotto shells around the edges and top-round recesses with reliefs of mermaids.
The spectacular compositional layout of the garden was created by the plant decoration, the original structure of which is now remembered only in general descriptions. The Sala Terrena connected to Giardinetto with Broderia. The central terrace offered parterre symmetric ornament fitted into side cut bosks. The top terrace allegedly repeated the pattern of ornamental flower beds and side bosk fillings from the previous terrace. It was accommodated to the structure of the top terrace, divided into three low levels and narrowing towards the final coulisse. In 1845, the palace complex was rebuilt in the Classicist style, which is also reflected in the garden. Empire additions were constructed by the dividing wall between the garden's bottom and central section, and there appears to be an observation point on the terminal scene wall. It is almost certain that these conversions also led to the removal of the original plant structure, which has never been renewed.
After reconstruction, the Vrtba Garden reopened on June 3rd 1998, and visitors are now offered the attractive opportunity to see this unique Baroque Vrtba Garden, which is said to be the most charming garden of its type north of the Alps.
In 2019, the Vrtba Garden was nominated by the international panel of the European Garden Heritage Network as one of three finalists in the MANAGEMENT OR DEVELOPMENT OF A HISTORIC PARK OR GARDEN category.
