The Baroque styling is visible from the fact that the gardens have cascading terraces, with Baroque sculptures, monumental staircases, fountains ponds, pavilions and galleries. And best of all the garden offer a enchanting view of the Charles bridge and the Old town on the opposite bank of the river.
From the mid 1950s the garden as a whole were closed because of their diminishing state and it was only in the mid 1990s, that they were restored to their former glory and present state.
