Černín Palace, Baroque palace in Hradčany, Czech Republic
The Černín Palace extends across a vast area with twin courtyards and features a 150-meter-long facade with four floors rising above Loretánské Square.
Count Humprecht Jan Černín commissioned Italian architect Francesco Caratti to construct this grand residence between 1669 and 1677 during the Habsburg era.
The interior spaces showcase Italian baroque craftsmanship through detailed stucco decorations, grand staircases, and architectural elements representing 17th-century aristocratic design.
The palace functions as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic, with administrative offices located in the Janák extension added between 1933 and 1939.
The building includes a working paternoster elevator, a continuous chain of open compartments moving in a loop, which remains in operation in the Janák wing.
