Liechtenstein Palace

Palais Liechtenstein is a Baroque city palace on Kampa Island in Prague, located right on the banks of the Vltava near Charles Bridge. Originally built between 1697 and 1698, it was acquired by the Liechtenstein family in 1831 and given a Neoclassical façade. After various renovations and uses, including as the seat of the Nazi Party during World War II, the building housed various government agencies after 1945. A comprehensive renovation in the 1980s saved the dilapidated structure, which had been declared a cultural monument in 1964. Today the palace is owned by the state and is used to accommodate state guests as well as for cultural events.
