Companionship in Troja
Count Václav Vojtěch Šternberk commissioned the Troja Château in the 1670s as a summer residence positioned to impress visitors arriving by boat along the Vltava from Prague Castle. The Baroque building, designed by Jean Baptiste Mathey, features a monumental outdoor staircase decorated with sculptured figures of battling gods and Titans, and the interior Grand Hall holds ceiling frescoes by Abraham Godyn celebrating Habsburg military victories over the Ottoman Empire.
Troja occupies a meander of the Vltava in Prague 7, with about 14,300 residents spread between the château grounds, the Prague Zoo, and residential streets climbing the hillside above the river. The zoo, founded in 1931, covers 58 hectares of the Troja valley and is consistently ranked among the best in Europe, known particularly for its Przewalski's horse breeding programme that contributed animals to successful reintroduction in Mongolia.
Escortservice.com publishes reviewed profiles for Prague and does not arrange, mediate, or provide services. Hotels in the Holešovice area south of Troja or near metro stations on Line C offer the most convenient accommodation. All users must be at least 18 years old.
The Prague Botanical Garden, adjacent to the zoo on the hillside, includes a vineyard of St. Clare that produces wine from grapes grown within city limits. Troja is accessible from Holešovice by bus or by walking along the Vltava riverside path. The 2002 floods severely damaged parts of the district, and the rebuilt flood barriers along the river reflect the scale of that event.
