Hauenschild palace, Renaissance palace in Olomouc, Czech Republic

The Hauenschild Palace features a two-story corner bay window with stone reliefs depicting scenes from ancient mythology on its decorated facade.

The palace was constructed in 1583 by the Hauenschild family of Furstenfeld, incorporating the foundations of two previous Gothic houses into the structure.

During a notable visit in 1767, eleven-year-old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed his sixth symphony in F-major while staying at the palace with his family.

Located at Dolni Namesti 38 in Olomouc, the palace houses a restaurant and stands within five minutes walking distance from the central Town Hall.

The corner section of the palace displays intricate stone reliefs based on Ovid's Metamorphoses, created from designs by artist Vergil Solis.
