Chernin Palace
Description:
Cherninsky Palace is one of the most beautiful Baroque palaces in Prague. It is located in Loretana Square.
The palace belonged to one of the most famous noble families of Bohemia - the Chernin family. It was built in 1668 by the Italian architect Francesco Caratti. The construction and decoration of the palace took most of the family's savings.
For a time, the palace housed an art gallery, and later it was also used as a shelter for the poor and barracks. After 1777, numerous cultural events were held in the palace.
Now the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs is located in the building of the Chernin Palace.
