Troja Chateau
Václav Vojtěch, Count of Šternberk had a summer residence built in Trója since 1679. The manor was built by S. Carlone according to the project of J. M. Matheye even though he in his designs certainly had to respect the already founded shape according to the original project of architect G. D. Orsi. The statues which decorate the stairway in the garden have been made by artists from Dresden, Jiří and Pavel Heerman, after 1685. At the same time with the manor was being built the garden.
