Čáky-Dezőfi palace

The Čáky-Dezőfi palace is a symmetrical stone building featuring classical architectural proportions and details located in the heart of Old Town Košice. The structure displays characteristic elements of classicism with balanced facades and decorative ornamental work typical of early 19th century design.

The palace was built in 1807 by Count Antal Csáky and later passed through the hands of different noble families. In the 20th century it served official state purposes before becoming a public institution.

The palace carries the names of two noble families who shaped its character over time. Visitors can see the classical elegance that reflected the status of its wealthy owners.

The building now houses a library offering access to books and research materials for students and the general public. Visitors should plan their visit according to standard opening hours for public institutions.

Between 1993 and 2007 the palace served as the Constitutional Court of Slovakia during the country's early years of independence. This period connected its classical elegance with the nation's judicial authority during a formative time.
