| The 16th century Lobkowicz Palace (Lobkowiczký palác) is part of the Prague Castle complex, but requires a separate entrance ticket to visit. The parts of the palace open to the public form the Lobkowicz Palace Museum, and feature a series of exquisitely decorated rooms showcasing priceless exhibits from the Lobkowicz family collections. On display are world-famous works of art by 12th-20th century painters, including masterpieces by Canaletto, Bruegel the Elder and Velázquez; historical weapons and armour; ceramics spanning five centuries; valuable musical instruments; and, hand-annotated manuscripts by such composers as Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven.
Its most beautiful room, the Baroque Concert Hall, has a stunning 17th century ceiling adorned with frescos. This room is the magnificent setting for Lunchtime Classical Concerts.
Two other reception rooms, The Marble Hall and the Balcony Room, are particularly enchanting, as is the Lobkowicz Palace chapel.
For refreshments, the Lobkowicz Palace Café offers casual dining and drinks. Sit on the small balcony at the rear to enjoy terrific views over the city. The history of the palace reflects some of Bohemia’s most significant historical events.
Lobkowicz Palace was built in the mid-16th century by Czech nobleman Jaroslav of Pernštejn, and was originally named the Pernštejn Palace. It entered the Lobkowicz family by way of marriage.
In 1618, when Protestant rebels threw their Catholic Imperial ministers from the windows of Prague Castle (the “defenestration”), it was to Lobkowicz Palace that the survivors fled to take refuge, at great political risk to the Lobkowicz family.
In the communist era of the 20th century, Lobkowicz Palace was confiscated by the state. It took 40 years of communist rule, and a further 12 years seeking its restitution, for the Lobkowicz family to regain ownership. In 2002, with the palace back under their control, the Lobkowicz family embarked on extensive renovation works, the results of which can be enjoyed by visitors today. Fortunately, all periods of Lobkowicz Palace's architectural history survive.
