In the heart of Prague's Hvězda Game Reserve stands a fascinating Renaissance summer palace, built in the years 1555–56. Its architectural originality lies in its unique six-pointed star ground plan, making it an exceptional example of Czech Renaissance architecture. This structure, nestled in the tranquil nature of the Liboc Game Reserve, attracts visitors with its historical atmosphere and unusual design. Since 1962, Hvězda, along with the entire game reserve and the nearby Battle of White Mountain battlefield, has been protected as a national cultural monument. Today, it is under the care of the Museum of Czech Literature, which ensures the preservation of this gem for future generations.
