Zichy palace, Cultural center and palace in Old Town, Slovakia
Zichy Palace is an 18th-century building with a neoclassical exterior and Gothic elements inside dating from the Louis XVI period. At the center of the courtyard stands a distinctive fountain featuring a lion sculpture.
Built between 1770 and 1780 by Count František Ziči, the palace replaced three medieval houses that previously stood on the site. After its completion, it became an important center of social life in Bratislava.
The palace bears the name of the Zichy family, who lived here and shaped the cultural life of the city for generations. Walking through the rooms today, visitors sense the refinement of past centuries in every corner.
The site is located in Old Town and functions today as a cultural center hosting concerts, exhibitions, and wedding celebrations. Visitors should be aware that the rooms with their high ceilings have very different acoustics.
Composer Heinrich Marschner lived here from 1817 to 1819, teaching the Zichy family music while composing his operas. This chapter in the house's musical history often goes unnoticed by visitors today.
