Wallenberg-Pachaly Palace in Wrocław, Classicist palace in Wrocław, Poland.
Description
The Wallenberg-Pachaly Palace is a three-story classicist building with a striking four-column Ionic portico on its main facade and rusticated stonework at ground level. The property sits near the Market Square and is now used by the University of Wrocław.
History
The building was designed and constructed between 1785 and 1787 by architect Carl Gotthard Langhans for the wealthy Wallenberg-Pachaly banking family. Following World War II, the family lost control of the property and it became part of the university's holdings.
Culture
The building takes its name from two families who made their home here and served as a gathering place for the city's wealthy residents across several generations. The rooms within still reflect how the upper classes of that era lived and entertained.
Practical
The palace sits on Szajnochy Street within easy walking distance of the city center and close to St. Elisabeth's Church. As a university building, interior access is limited, but the facade and its architectural details are clearly visible from the street.
