Temporary Closure of Golden Lane at Prague Castle

Temporary Closure of Golden Lane at Prague Castle - more
Please be informed about the fact that the Golden Lane at Prague Castle will be temporarily closed from 1st May 2010 for approximately one year
due to necessary reconstructions that have to be made there.
During the reconstruction works the visit to Golden Lane will be replaced by the visit to the Rosenberg Palace in both offered circles("A" and "B").
The admission fee of each circle won´t be changed.

Temporarily closed venueThe Golden Lane will be closed from 1st May 2010 due to an extensive reconstruction of the road and historical houses there. Because of damaged sewerage, rains water runs into foundations of the houses and affects their stonework. The Golden Lane is supposed to be closed for probably one year, the exact real time of closing depends on parallel archaeological research. After the reconstruction there will be a new permanent exhibition installed in a part of the Golden Lane houses, documenting the life here in 1600 - 1956.

New venue
The Rosenberg Palace (later Institute of Noblewomen) will be open for public in April 2010 for the first time in its history.
The visitors will have a possibility to see unique chapel of the Holy Trinity and Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary.
Because of its monumentality and fresco decoration the chapel is unrivalled in Prague. The greatly restored Renaissance Rosenberg Hall will be accessible, too. One part of the Rosenberg Palace will be furnished like an apartment of a noble lady living in the Institute, which was founded by Empress Maria Theresa. The exhibition, evoking the life of an unmarried noble lady will consist of 60 items from the depository of Prague Castle in popular Biedermeier and second rococo styles.
Beside the furniture visitors will see also stoves, stationery, lamps, candlesticks, glass, porcelain or timepieces.
Address of the Rosenberg Palace - Jirska Street 2/3, Prague Castle, Praha 1.
