Palác Colloredo-Mansfeld, Baroque palace in Old Town, Czech Republic.
The Colloredo-Mansfeld Palace is a four-winged baroque structure in Prague's Old Town Square with ornate sculptures, vases, and angels decorating its main portal. Inside, grand halls and richly decorated rooms reflect the wealth and power of its former owners.
Prince Heinrich Paul Mansfeld acquired the property in 1735 and undertook extensive reconstruction to transform it into a noble residence. This baroque renovation shaped the building for centuries to come and established its role as an important historical landmark.
The palace houses the Prague City Gallery since 2010, presenting contemporary Czech art within its historical rooms. This combination lets visitors experience modern works in a baroque setting.
The building sits in the heart of the Old Town and is easily reached by public transport, especially metro line A to Staroměstská station or trams 2, 17, and 18. Its central location means visitors can walk through the narrow streets and squares of the historic district.
The Piano Nobile hall preserves remarkable frescoes from the 1760s depicting Olympian gods across its ceiling and walls. This elaborate wall painting offers a direct glimpse into the artistic vision noble families of the 1700s wanted for their private rooms.
