MacNeven palace, Cultural monument in New Town, Prague, Czech Republic.

MacNeven Palace is a building in Prague's New Town that combines Gothic and Baroque features in its structure. The facade displays intricate stonework, ornaments, and details that reveal different construction phases.

Two Gothic houses built after 1370 for the monastery of Our Lady of the Snows stood here and were joined in the early 15th century as U Smetanů. Renaissance rebuilding came before 1613, and Ignác Jan Nepomuk Palliardi gave the palace its Baroque form around 1770 for Baron Vilém MacNeven. František Palacký died here in 1876, František Ladislav Rieger in 1903.

The palace is also called Palacký House after František Palacký, who received it as a dowry and died here in 1876; his son-in-law František Ladislav Rieger died here in 1903. Their preserved apartment forms a National Museum exhibit, open on request, and a bust of Palacký by Josef Václav Myslbek from 1885 sits above the portal.

The palace can be viewed from the outside, and the facade is easy to see as you walk along the street. It is helpful to visit the building in daylight to appreciate all the details of the stonework and ornaments.

Above the portal is a bust of František Palacký carved by Josef Václav Myslbek in 1885, and beside the portal hangs a memorial plaque to František Ladislav Rieger. Palacký's and Rieger's original living and working rooms survive inside as a memorial exhibition of the National Museum, open on request.
