In 1593, Emperor Rudolf II decided to build a new armoury and foundry in the northern fortification
of Prague Castle. In 1601, a new foundryman Martin Hilliger was hired to cast models for sculptures by Adrian
de Vries. With the emperor’s permission, both masters could work for other patrons, such as Karl, Prince of
Liechtenstein, or the Saxon court. After Rudolf II’s death, de Vries remained in imperial service, working at Prague
Castle on models for statues commissioned by King Christian IV of Denmark and others. His death ended
statue casting at the Castle. The 1637–1638 inventory shows the foundry was temporarily used to store objects
collected and sealed there from other parts of the Castle. Besides foundry materials and tools, the inventory lists
paintings, books, statues, parts of fountains, and other surprising items. The full 1638 inventory is attached at the article’s end.
