Furstenberg Palace, Renaissance palace in Mala Strana, Czech Republic.
Furstenberg Palace is a Renaissance building in Malá Strana with balanced proportions and classical Roman elements visible across its facade. The structure displays the refined architectural style characteristic of buildings from its era in this historic district.
Construction began in 1580, and the building took its current form through modifications that connected two separate structures in the 18th century. This merger created the unified structure you see today.
The palace serves as the Polish Embassy today, making it a working symbol of diplomatic ties between two European nations. From the street, you can see how it maintains its role as an important institutional building within the historic district.
The building sits on Valdštejnská Street in the heart of the historic district and is easily reached on foot. It is located near other significant structures, making it a convenient stop during a walk through Malá Strana.
Major restoration work from 2003 to 2006 uncovered original Classicist color schemes hidden beneath layers added over centuries. These efforts revealed how differently the building appeared during various periods in its history.
