Mirbach Palace

Mirbach Palace in Bratislava's Old Town, across from the Franciscan Church, is a historic palace that has housed part of the City Gallery's art collection since 1975. The building, constructed on the site of the former Weite Court, was built between 1768 and 1770 for the brewer Michael Spech. Architecturally, the palace is arranged in four wings around an open inner gallery. Especially impressive are the staircase and the state rooms on the second floor, which are preserved in the characteristic Bratislava Rococo style. The staircase was built with hard Kaiserstein limestone from a quarry near Vienna. Here you can tour the richly decorated rooms and see the artworks on display.
