Kinský Garden in Prague

The Kinský garden is an oasis of verdant nature in the heart of the city, adorned with various artificial features that give it the final touch to perfection. When strolling around on the meandering paths, you will encounter sandstone rocks, lookouts, pools, waterfalls, stairs with flowing water, an orthodox church and the poetic summer palace called Musaion.

The garden used to be the summer residence of the Kinský family, but today it is a public park with an unmistakable charm. It surrounds the elegant summer palace and stretches up the slope towards the Petřín Hill. It is not only the landscape design that is so remarkable about this garden but also the wooden Church of St. Michael, which was disassembled and transported to Prague from Transcarpathia in 1929. Also worth mentioning are its two extensive ponds separated by a waterfall. Their water supply comes from a 400-metre long tunnel that was constructed only for this purpose. The main landmark of the garden is the Kinský Summer Palace. Since 1922 it has held an exposition of the ethnography department of the National Museum – one of the largest collections of folk art and culture of the 17th to 20th century in Europe.
