Menhartovský palác, Baroque palace in Old Town, Czech Republic
The Menhartovský Palace features two distinct architectural sections visible from Štupartská Street, reflecting different construction periods of the eighteenth century.
Construction began in 1700 on the site of medieval buildings, with architects Vít Václav Kaňka and František Maxmilián Kaňka leading the baroque transformation.
The palace contains a wooden statue of Hercules with a lion from 1675, created by sculptor Jan Jiří Bendl for the ground floor display.
The building currently houses the Divadlo v Celetné theater company and the Institute of Art, offering regular cultural performances and exhibitions.
A statue of Saint John Nepomuk from 1755 remains preserved in the facade's niche between floors, dating from the period when Piarists owned the palace.
