Kinsky Summer Palace Prague

The Kinský Summer house sits amidst a beautiful English-style garden dating from 1827. The house is from a few years later. The designer was Jindřich Koch. It is a pseudo-Classical structure with a profusion of pillars both inside and out. The façade features several Ionic columns ending in a triangular tympanum. The interior has a large hall filed with columns. There is also a grand triple-branched stairway. Statues decorate its ascent. Inside, you can admire the décor and view the Ethnographic Museum. The Kinský Summer Palace is now home to a permanent exhibit of Folk Art. These include exhibits on costumes, ceramics, embroidery, furniture, glass and wood carving.
