Berchtoldův palác, 19th-century palace in Bratislava, Slovakia
Berchtoldův Palace was a classical building with an entrance hall decorated in river pebble mosaics that led to a central staircase serving the main floor. Apartments were arranged symmetrically around a central axis, with the middle section featuring a circular window rather than a coat of arms.
The palace was built in 1832 by Count Berchtold on land outside the city's tax boundaries and originally featured extensive gardens. It later transitioned into a rental building and eventually served as a music school before its removal.
The entrance hall led to apartments arranged around a central axis, with the middle elevation displaying a circular window instead of a coat of arms.
The building was demolished in 1981 to make room for the House of Trade Unions, leaving only fragmented mosaic tiles from the original floor decorations. These remains are now preserved in museum collections and offer a glimpse into what once stood on this location.
The building stood in the Trnavské Mýto district, blending classical and late Empire architectural features typical of the Austrian monarchy era. Its location outside the original city limits made it a distinctive example of 19th-century urban expansion.
