Menhart Palace

*
A walk-through a Baroque palace and beautiful courtyard
Description

The Baroque palace was erected in the beginning of the 18th century in place of several medieval houses. A passage running through the palace ground connects Štupartská Street to Celetná Street. Thanks to this passage, there is a unique view onto the late Baroque style court with balcony corridors supported by cantilevers.

No less interesting is a wooden statue of Hercules fighting a lion, probably the work of Baroque master Jan Jiří Bendl. A stone statue in the courtyard is a copy of the allegory sculpture named "Trpělivost" (Patience) from the workshop of Matyáš Bernard Braun. The original sculpture is placed in the Manor Hospital in Kuks.
