Grömlingovský palác, Baroque palace in Malá Strana, Prague, Czech Republic
Grömlingovský palác is a Baroque palace in Malá Strana composed of five connected buildings with rich decorative details on its exterior. The facade displays ornamental portals, cornices, stucco work, and paired windows connected by stone sills that give it a unified appearance.
Architect Josef Jäger designed and constructed this palace in 1786 for lawyer Karel of Grömling by merging several individual townhouses into one unified structure. This consolidation created a large interconnected Baroque complex from formerly separate properties.
The ground floor housed Café Radetzky starting in 1874, which became Malostranská Café and drew many Czech writers and artists to its tables. This space served as a gathering place for local intellectuals and shaped the cultural life of the neighborhood.
The palace is located at Malostranské náměstí 28 in Prague 1 and remains an active administrative building in daily use. Visitors should note that it functions as a working space, so access may vary depending on current activities.
The roof features stone vases and mythological figures created by sculptor Ignác František Platzer around 1787 that many passersby overlook. These decorative rooftop elements add surprising detail to the building that is rarely noticed from street level.
