Description
Entrance to Ball Game Hall 1 by Jenny Rainbow.
This Renaissance building on the south side of the Royal Gardens, directly above the Stag Moat, was built from 1567 to 1569. It served as a ball games hall, and later as a riding school and stables. During the reign of Josef II it was used as a military storage facility.
Nowadays the Ball Game Hall is used for exhibition of creative arts, social events, conferences and concerts.

The renaissance sgraffito-work is original, though it has been restored several times, most notably in the 1950 s, At this time – in addition to the figures of the cardinal virtues, the liberal arts and the four elements – there was added an allegory of Soviet industry, complete with hammer and sickle.
