Palais Brukenthal, Baroque palace in Sibiu, Romania.
The Brukenthal Palace stands on the western side of Grand Square, displaying an austere Baroque architecture with a prominent facade extending beyond neighboring buildings.
Baron Samuel von Brukenthal constructed this palace between 1778 and 1788 while serving as Governor of the Grand Principality of Transylvania from 1777 to 1787.
The palace houses an extensive art gallery with Baroque paintings, establishing itself as the first museum in Romania when it opened to the public in 1817.
Located at 4 Grand Square in Sibiu, the palace contains both the National Art Gallery and the Brukenthal Museum Library, open for regular visits.
Three years before the Louvre Museum in Paris, Baron von Brukenthal arranged his art collections for public viewing in 1790 within the palace walls.
