This large park, with three majestic tree-lined avenues that served as entertainment and hunting for Renaissance aristocracy, is today a place where you go for walks with the dogs to relax, jog, ride a bike, ski or play on the playground with your kids/family.

The area has maintained its atmosphere, thanks in part of the summer palace with its atypical six-pointed star (hvězda) shape  from which both the park and the palace get their names.

Well House Obora Hvezda:

In the middle part of the Hvězda Game Reserve, you will find a Well House which was used to supply water to the park administrator’s house. The well is more than 32 m deep.

History of the Place:

Nearby Bílá hora, there is a game preserve named Hvězda (Star) spread on 86.5 ha; the original name was Nová (New) to distinguish from the Royal Game Preserve in Bubeneč. It is situated 320 – 370 m above sea level. It was established by Ferdinand I on a land plot belonging to the Břevnov Monastery in a forest named Malejov in 1534 (Prague.eu).

Photoshoots at Obora Hvězda

Obora Hvězda is one of Prague’s most peaceful and characterful locations, and its three grand tree-lined avenues make striking natural corridors for couple and family portraits. The Renaissance star-shaped summer palace at the center gives sessions a unique architectural backdrop found nowhere else in the city.

The reserve is wonderfully quiet, so we can work without crowds, and the mix of open meadows, ancient trees and historic buildings gives a single session real variety. Autumn is especially beautiful here, when the avenues glow amber, while spring brings fresh green and wildflowers underfoot.
