Lonely Planet review for Zbraslav Chateau
Zbraslav is a small town on the western bank of the Vltava, 10km south of the centre, that was only recently incorporated into Greater Prague. As long ago as 1268 Přemysl Otakar II built a hunting lodge and a chapel here, later rebuilt as a Cistercian monastery. In 1784 it was converted into a baroque chateau that now houses the National Gallery’s permanent collection of Asian art, with copies of well-known Czech sculptures in the gardens.
