National Home palace, Neoclassical palace in Gornji Grad, Zagreb, Croatia.

The National Home palace stands at Opatička Street 18, featuring ornamental facades and classical interior elements spread across multiple floors.

Initially built as a mansion for Count Karlo Drašković in 1843, the structure replaced a former Poor Clares monastery that was disbanded in 1782.

The central Stateroom of the palace served as a gathering place for Croatian intellectuals and hosted numerous political assemblies during the 19th century.

The building currently houses the Institute of the History of Croatian Literature, Theatre and Music under the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts.

The palace experienced a structural incident in 1843 when its eastern portico collapsed, leading to a lawsuit against architect Bartol Felbinger.

Inception: 1843

Architectural style: neoclassicism
