For 130 years a unique carousel, the oldest of its kind not only in Czechia but perhaps in the whole of Europe, has stood on the edge of Prague’s Letenské Sady. It had previously been located in Vinohrady, but only for a couple of years.

The merry-go-round is still located on its original wooden pavilion, built on the plan of a regular dodecagon with a span of 12 meters with a pyramidal roof.
