Lobkowicz Palace Museum

About

Lobkowicz Palace Museum, nestled within the Prague Castle complex, is the only privately owned building on the grounds and a treasure trove of European art and history. Built in the 16th century by Jaroslav of Pernštejn and later acquired by the Lobkowicz family, the palace has witnessed centuries of political and cultural change. Its museum showcases the Lobkowicz Collections—one of Europe’s oldest private art holdings—including masterpieces by Bruegel, Canaletto, Velázquez, and Cranach, as well as original manuscripts by Beethoven and Mozart. Visitors can explore 22 galleries with an audio guide narrated by the Lobkowicz family, offering personal insights into the collection’s legacy. The Baroque concert hall hosts daily classical performances, adding a living dimension to the experience. A terrace café provides panoramic views of Prague, making the palace a serene retreat amid the city’s bustle. Restituted to the family in 2002 after decades of confiscation, Lobkowicz Palace stands as a testament to resilience, heritage, and the enduring power of art.
