Palác Purkyňova, Functionalist palace in New Town, Czech Republic.
The nine-story Palác Purkyňova exhibits functionalist architecture with horizontal lines, shell-shaped balconies, and a distinctive steamboat-like structure at Purkyňova Street intersection.
German Insurance Company Donau commissioned architect Adolf Foehr to design this palace, which was constructed between 1927 and 1928 at the location of Jan Purkyně residence.
The ground and first floors originally housed the Aventinum Bookstore, with interiors designed by Bedřich Feuerstein from the Devětsil artistic group.
The building currently functions as an administrative complex connected to adjacent structures through a shopping center featuring a theater, restaurant, and coffee shop.
A memorial plaque marks the location where both Jan Evangelista Purkyně and his son Karel, notable Czech intellectuals, spent their final days.
