Palác Hložků ze Žampachu, Baroque palace in Hradčany, Czech Republic
The palais Hložek de Žampach features ornamental decorations, detailed facades, and grand proportions characteristic of baroque architectural elements from its construction period.
Multiple Gothic houses occupied the site until a fire in 1541, followed by a Renaissance house in 1550 before Albrecht Hložek transformed it into a baroque palace in 1680.
The palace, designed by architect Adolf Foehr, maintains its status as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic, preserving architectural heritage in Prague's castle district.
Located at 4 Kanovnická Street in Prague, the palace currently serves as the Austrian Embassy, maintaining its diplomatic function since 1919.
A complete restoration between 1923 and 1925 returned the palace to its original style, preserving the architectural elements from its baroque transformation.
