Salm Palace (Czech: Salmovský palác) is a Neoclassical building in Prague, Czech Republic. It currently serves as a cultural monument and collection site of the National Gallery Prague.
History
Before the construction of Salm Palace, the site housed several other buildings, notably two Renaissance palaces owned by Paul Sixt III of Trautson [it] and the lords of Šternberk. Before 1648 František Karel Matyáš of Šternberk [cs] joined the two palaces together. The merged building was acquired in 1770 by Josef Bretfeld [cs], who transfered it to Archbishop of Prague Wilhelm Florentin von Salm-Salm [cs] in 1795. In 1800 he began renovations, before completely rebuilding the palace from 1810 to 1811 with designs by architect František Pavíček [cs]. After Salm-Salms's death, the palace was aquired by the House of Schwarzenberg and used as the primogeniture's Prague residence until 1945. The building was nationalized by the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic after the Second World War.
In 2003 the building was given to the National Gallery Prague to house collections. From 2008 to 2012, the building underwent extreme renovations.
