Zdíkův palác, Romanesque palace in Olomouc, Czech Republic

The palace complex consists of remnants of the original structure with paired Romanesque windows, a Gothic cloister, and Saint John the Baptist Chapel.

Built in the late 1130s under Bishop Jindrich Zdik, the palace served as a residence and communal space for a twelve-member chapter until the 13th century.

The Gothic ambulatory contains medieval frescoes depicting liturgical scenes, some attributed to Ulrich Apt, a student of painter Albrecht Dürer.

The palace opens from May to September through guided tours within the Archdiocesan Museum, allowing visitors to explore its architectural elements.

A collection of student inscriptions remains preserved on stone fixtures from the period when the palace functioned as a cathedral school.
