Palác Včela, Neo-Renaissance palace in České Budějovice, Czech Republic

The Palác Včela stands at the intersection of Přemysl Otakar II Square and Karla IV Street, featuring three stories adorned with relief and sculptural decorations.

Built between 1895 and 1896, the palace served as the headquarters of the German credit and mortgage association Biene until 1923.

The first floor housed Café Central from 1896, offering wines and cognac alongside traditional café items to both Czech and German patrons.

The palace contains multiple spaces across its three floors, with the ground level currently accommodating various commercial establishments.

The basement once contained a Kaiserpanorama, an early form of entertainment providing stereoscopic photo projections starting in 1898.
