Palác Metychů z Čečova, Renaissance palace in Malá Strana, Czech Republic
The Metych Palace features both Renaissance and Baroque architectural elements, with its eastern wing overlooking the Čertovka water channel near Velkopřevorské Square.
In 1749, several medieval houses were merged into a single structure, creating the foundation of the current palace under the ownership of Jan Alsterleho Astfeld.
The palace served as the first headquarters of the Association for Education and Employment of the Blind in Bohemia, accepting five initial students in 1832.
The palace, now owned by Luxury Estates, stands as a protected cultural monument of the Czech Republic, maintaining its original architectural characteristics.
Czech composer Josef Bohuslav Foerster was born in this palace in 1859, commemorated by a memorial plaque on its facade.
