Palác Thurn-Taxisů, Neoclassical palace in Malá Strana, Prague, Czech Republic
The palace features a square courtyard with its main facade opening westward to a garden on Letenská Street.
Built in 1726 under architect František Maxmilián Kaňka, the palace stands on foundations of two early Baroque houses commissioned by Count von Daun.
The Thurn und Taxis family, who acquired the palace in 1814, established themselves as central figures in European postal services and Czech society.
The palace currently houses both a kindergarten and several facilities of the Anglo-American University of Prague at 5 Letenská Street.
The palace underwent a complete reconstruction in 2014, transforming parts of its premises while maintaining its educational function as a kindergarten.
