Mirbach Palace
About

The Mirbach Palace is a stunning Baroque-Rococo architectural gem in Bratislava’s Old Town, built between 1768 and 1770 by brewer Michael Spech. Named after its last private owner, Baron Emil Mirbach, the palace is one of the best-preserved examples of its era. Today, it houses the Bratislava City Gallery, featuring a permanent exhibition of Central European Baroque paintings and sculptures, alongside rotating contemporary art displays. The palace’s ornate façade, intricate stucco decorations, and Triton fountain in the courtyard add to its charm. Inside, visitors can admire historical engravings, wood-paneled rooms, and a tiled stove preserved from the original interior. Located on Františkánske Square, near the Franciscan Church, Mirbach Palace offers a unique blend of history and art, making it a must-visit for culture enthusiasts.
