Schirdingovský palác, Neoclassical palace in New Town, Czech Republic

Schirdingovský palác, also called Kaňkův dům, occupies the corner of Národní třída 16 and Mikulandská 12 in Prague's New Town. The sources describe it as a Neoclassical building on medieval foundations, with a Baroque phase from Jan Ferdinand Hübner's work after 1731. In the courtyard stands a deconstructivist office building designed by Jiří Střítecký and Martin Krupauer in the 1990s.

The plot held two medieval stone buildings, a malt house and a brewery, from the late 14th century; only cellars and sections of perimeter walls survive. Jan Ferdinand Hübner began the first modern reconstruction after 1731, completing it before 1752. In 1752 imperial councillor Jan Antonín ze Schirdingu bought it at auction and made classical adjustments; in 1838 lawyer Jan Nepomuk Kaňka acquired it and later left it to a foundation for impoverished Prague lawyers.

The memorial plaque to the events of 17 November 1989, made by Miroslav Krátký and Otakar Příhoda, was set into the newly pierced arcade in 1990. In November 2016 the passage was closed and the plaque moved onto the building's facade.

The building is easily visible from the street at a central location on a busy thoroughfare. The facade with the memorial plaque can be viewed from the street, making it accessible without needing special arrangements or entry permissions.

In 1953 an arcade was cut through the ground floor facing Národní třída. A plaque by Miroslav Krátký and Otakar Příhoda commemorating 17 November 1989 was set into this passage in 1990, then moved to the facade in November 2016 when the passage closed.
