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

Schebek Palace is a Renaissance Revival building from the late 1800s with four wings surrounding a central rectangular courtyard. A marble staircase connects the different levels and leads to the main reception rooms.

Construction began in 1871 under architect Vojtěch Ignác Ullmann on the site of a former orphanage. The building was originally created as a residence for railway magnates Jan Schebek and František Ringhoffer.

The interior displays ceiling paintings by Viktor Barvitius and sculptures by Josef Wagner, showing Czech artistic skill from the 1800s. You can see these artworks in the main reception rooms as you move through the palace.

The building currently houses the Center for Economics Research and Graduate Education through the Czech Academy of Sciences. Access may be limited since it functions as an active research and academic building.

The building evolved from a private residence to the headquarters of the Austro-Hungarian Bank and later to the National Bank of Czechoslovakia. This transformation reflects how the palace adapted to the country's changing needs across the 20th century.
