Schebek Palace, Renaissance Revival palace in New Town, Prague, Czech Republic

The Schebek Palace features four wings arranged around a central rectangular courtyard, with a marble staircase leading to main reception rooms.

Construction began in 1871 under architect Vojtěch Ignác Ullmann, transforming the former orphanage site into a residence for railway magnates Jan Schebek and František Ringhoffer.

The palace interior contains ceiling murals by Viktor Barvitius and sculptures by Josef Wagner, representing nineteenth-century Czech artistic achievements.

The building currently houses the Center for Economics Research and Graduate Education, maintaining its connection to academic pursuits through the Czech Academy of Sciences.

The structure evolved from a private residence to the Austro-Hungarian Bank headquarters, then to the National Bank of Czechoslovakia, reflecting Czech financial history.
