Archbishop's Palace, Prague

The Archbishop's Palace in Prague is the present seat of the archbishops of Prague. The baroque building stands on Hradčany Square in the immediate neighbourhood of the main gate of Prague Castle. On the northern side of the palace the Deer Moat slopes away, and on the western side a passage leads through to the Sternberg Palace. The Archbishop's Palace was built in the 17th century in the baroque style, but it has been rebuilt many times up to the present day. It is already the third seat of the bishops and archbishops of Prague. Since 2026 it has had the status of a national cultural monument.
