Gruber Palace, Late Baroque palace in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

The Gruber Palace stands on Astronomy Street along the Ljubljanica River, featuring an elegant stone portal and decorated facade with intricate plaits.

Gabriel Gruber, a Jesuit architect from Vienna, constructed this palace between 1773 and 1781 as his residence and research institute for physics and hydraulics.

The oval staircase contains an allegorical fresco from 1786 by Andrej Herrlein, depicting themes of trade, crafts, and technology in cool pastel colors.

The Archives of the Republic of Slovenia currently operates within the palace, maintaining national documents and historical records since 1965.

The palace chapel displays grisaille technique frescoes by J. M. Kremser-Schmidt, illustrating various episodes from the life of the Virgin Mary.
