Schönborn Palace, Baroque palace in Malá Strana, Czech Republic
The Schönborn Palace features detailed baroque architecture with multiple terraces, gardens, and an orchard located behind the main building structure.
Architect Bartolomeo Scotti designed this palace in 1715, following the destruction of a previous structure during the devastating Thirty Years War.
Franz Kafka spent time living and working within the palace walls in 1917, adding a literary connection to the architectural significance of this structure.
The United States Embassy to the Czech Republic operates from this palace since 1924, when the US government purchased it from Richard Teller Crane II.
Count Rudolf von Colloredo designed the first garden terrace with specialized steps allowing horseback access after losing his leg in battle.
