Palác Thurn-Taxisů, Neoclassical palace in Malá Strana, Prague, Czech Republic

Palác Thurn-Taxisů is a Neoclassical palace at Letenská 120/5 and 7 in Malá Strana, formed by four wings around a square courtyard. The two-storey north wing has two arched portals and a relief of the Thurn-Taxis coat of arms on the first-floor cornice; the rear wing has one storey. A garden lies to the west, and a passage links Letenská Street with Vojanovy sady.

Vilém Antonín Count Daun bought two early Baroque houses in 1695 and 1696 and had a palace built from them after 1696. Around 1726 František Václav of Vrtba had it completed and altered, possibly to plans by František Maxmilián Kaňka or Giovanni Battista Alliprandi. Maxmilián Josef Thurn-Taxis bought it in 1814; in 1871 Hugo Maxmilián Thurn-Taxis had it remodelled in Neoclassical style to plans by Jan Bělský.

The Thurn and Taxis family shaped the building from 1814 onward through their influence on European postal networks and local society. Their legacy remains visible in how the space serves educational and cultural purposes today.

The palace sits at 5 Letenská Street in Malá Strana and can be easily found while walking through the neighborhood streets. Since the building houses educational institutions, access to most interiors is limited during regular hours, though the courtyard and facade can be appreciated from outside.

A passage through the palace courtyard links Letenská Street with the Vojan Gardens, so pedestrians can cross the block without walking around it. The rear wing, once used for household purposes, has only one storey, unlike the two-storey main and side wings.
