| Summary: | From the times of Vladislaus II Jagiello (1456–1516) the residence in Prague Castle had two parts.
After a costly refurbishment, the Old Royal Palace was adapted as the King’s seat and a new palace
was built for the Queen by the White Tower on the west side of Prague Castle. Later it became the
residence of Queen Anne Jagiello (1503–1547), wife of Ferdinand I, and after her death, in 1547, it
became the residence of the second-born, Bohemian Governor Archduke Ferdinand II. Although
not much has survived after numerous reconstructions, one can get a rough idea of its extent and
furnishings on the basis of several fragments, written sources and iconography |
