Wallenstein Palace built 1623–1634 by Albrecht of Wallenstein, now the seat of Senate of the Czech Parliament. Architecture of the palace is derived from Mannerism and Early Italian Baroque accompanied by large amount of beautiful decorations namely mural paintings, stucco and gilding. GEMA ART restored the original architectural design of all palace sections, including interior decorations, palace gardens, fountains and large original grotto. The restoration works implemented in Wallenstein Palace were one of the most extensive events of this type ever executed in the Czech Republic. The project was awarded by Europa Nostra for comprehensive approach to the restoration and reconstruction of the palace in 2000.
