Bretfeldovský palác, Palace in Malá Strana, Prague, Czech Republic.
Bretfeldovský Palace is a three-wing structure located at Hradčanské square in Malá Strana that blends elements from four different architectural styles. The building's facades display Baroque, Gothic, Renaissance, and Historicist features that were added during various periods of renovation and expansion.
In 1770, physician Josef Bretfeld acquired two separate residences on this site. The property was later expanded and redesigned under subsequent ownership, including a period under Archbishop Vilém Florentin, transforming it into a substantial palace complex.
The palace functions as an exhibition venue for the National Gallery, bringing art and history together in this historic quarter. Visitors experience how this building continues to serve the community as a center for viewing and learning about art.
The palace is accessible to visitors during National Gallery exhibitions and sits prominently on Hradčanské square. Current opening hours and exhibition details are best confirmed by contacting the gallery directly before planning your visit.
A French-style pre-courtyard with a trellis gate provides a distinctive entrance to the property that sets it apart from neighboring historic structures. This feature reflects French design influence in the building's exterior layout.
