Palazzo Pfanner

Palazzo Pfanner, Baroque palace in Lucca, Italy

Description

Palazzo Pfanner is a Baroque palace featuring a monumental staircase that draws visitors up to ornate rooms decorated with period frescoes. The building opens onto a structured garden laid out with geometric paths and classical sculptures arranged throughout.

History

The palace was built in 1667 for the Moriconi family and then passed through several owners before becoming associated with the Pfanner brewery operation. This succession of different families and uses left visible marks on how the structure and spaces developed over time.

Culture

The name comes from Felix Pfanner, who founded a brewery here in the mid-1800s and left his mark on the building's identity. Visitors can sense how the rooms tell the story of shifting residents and changing purposes across the centuries.

Practical

The palace and garden are accessible during the warmer months, with separate sections to explore at your own pace. It helps to allow time for both the interior rooms and the outdoor garden areas so you can take in the full layout without rushing.

Did you know?

Inside you can see a preserved collection of 19th-century medical instruments that once belonged to residents of the house. This lesser-known display offers a glimpse into a more personal side of the palace's past beyond the grand architecture and formal gardens.
