The ceremonial changing of the guard at Prague Castle is back

Starting tomorrow, visitors to the Castle can once again observe the daily changing of the guard in front of the Giant’s Gate, which borders Prague Castle from Hradčanské náměstí. The gate was closed for several weeks due to the necessary reconstruction of security elements, which is now over.

During the reconstruction, the ceremonial changing of the guard was replaced by a performance of the Music of the Castle Guard. A musical performance of the Music of the Castle Guard was heard from 12 to 12:15 p.m. at the III. courtyard visitors for the last time today.

Starting tomorrow, the reopened gate will also be used for the exit of visitors from the Castle grounds to Hradčanské náměstí. And the Castle Guard is also returning, which, just like before the reconstruction, will perform daily duty at the posts of honor in front of the Giants’ Gate.
