Queen Anne's Summer Palace in Prague was designed by Paolo della Stella, and Giovanni Spatio began construction. Both died before it was completed, and the infobox lists only della Stella. Ferdinand I commissioned it for his wife Anne Jagiellonica, who also died before completion. The infobox and text both give 1538 to 1560.
The article calls the style Renaissance. The first floor has a copper roof added by Bonifác Wohlmut. It gives no other materials or dimensions.
Rudolf II converted the first floor into an observatory, and the palace was unused for over 30 years after his death. Swedish soldiers used it during the Thirty Years' War, and an artillery laboratory occupied the grounds for over 100 years. Pavel Janák led a restoration in the 1950s, and it became a National Cultural Monument in 1962. It hosts exhibitions of fine and applied arts. The article gives no hours.
