Archbishop's Palace, Košice, Episcopal palace in Old Town, Košice, Slovakia.

The Archbishop's Palace combines a series of four connected townhouses, featuring Gothic portals, ornate balconies, and multiple architectural elements from different periods.

The palace dates back to 1400, when the Diocese of Eger required better administration, leading to the purchase and transformation of four townhouses into this ecclesiastical residence.

The palace holds a collection of portraits depicting bishops from the Kosice diocese, along with Rococo and Empire-style tile stoves throughout the interior spaces.

Located at Hlavná 28 in the Old Town district, the palace stands near St Elisabeth Cathedral and remains accessible through the tourist information center.

Two Gothic span portals originally belonging to Kosice Cathedral were integrated into the palace structure, though they are now sealed within the walls.
