July
2022,
2130🌟⭐🌟The
Game
Reserve
on
White
Mountain
was
founded
by
Emperor
Ferdinand
I
(1534).
A
two-floor
central
building
designed
by
Archduke
Ferdinand
of
Tyrol
(1529-1595),
the
Governor
of
Prague
(1547-1567),
in
a
six-pointed
star
shape
was
built
as
a
hunting
summer
palace
between
1555
and
1556.
The
construction
of
the
Star
Summer
Palace
was
first
supervised
by
master
builders
G.M.
Aostalli
and
G.
Lucchese,
and
thereafter
by
B.
Wohlmut.
The
stucco
decoration
of
vaults
on
the
ground
floor
date
from
1556
to
1560,
and
is
the
first
to
ever
appear
in
transalpine
countries.
The
first
half
of
the
18th century
witnessed
the
Palace
damaged
by
military
troops
camping
in
the
Game
Reserve.
As
decreed
by
Emperor
Joseph
I,
the
Star
Summer
Palace
was
used
as
a
storage
house
for
ammunition
from
1785
to
1874
when
it
closed
down. The
estate
boasts salla
terena built
in
1558, one
of
the
oldest
ballrooms
in
Bohemia
(designed
by
B.
Wohlmut).
It
was
used
in
the
18th and
the
19th centuries
as
a
stable,
but
only
a
small
part
of
that
building
has
been
preserved.
Following
the
establishment
of
Czechoslovakia
in
1918,
the
Star
Summer
Palace
was
delivered
in
trust
to
Prague
Castle.
First,
it
underwent
a
radical
reconstruction
between
1948
and
1952
under
Architect
Pavel
Janák’s
direction
to
house
a
permanent
exhibition,
which
had
been
held
in
the
Alois
Jirásek
Museum.
Next,
it
was
restored
in
stages
between
1986
and
2000.
Opening
this
Renaissance
architectural
and
historical
monument
of
extraordinary
quality
to
a
wide
range
of
visitors
from
the
Czech
Republic
and
from
abroad
was
the
main
project
of
the
MCL
within
the
programme
‘Prague
2000-European
City
of
Culture’.
The
Star
Summer
Palace
re-opened
on
May
25th,
2000
with
a
long-term
permanent
exhibition
entitled
‘History
and
the
Present’. The
Palace
houses
temporary
exhibitions
devoted
to
famous
figures
of
classical
and
modern
Czech
literature;
it
is
also
a
popular
venue
for
events,
concerts,
conferences
and
social
events.
