About:

The four wings palace is a part of Prague landmark reservation registered on UNESCO list. It stands at the begining of Kanovnicka street, the main front faces the Hradčanské square. The Palace belongs to the most beautiful renaissance houses in Prague that date back to the half of the XVIth Century.

The last female member of the family, Mrs. Marie-Anna Clam-Martinic, sold the palace to Mrs. Josefa Weitenweber, who started renting the rooms. In 1835 the northern wing was hit by a lightning and after this happened Mrs.Josefa sold the house to Mrs. Barbara Trödl, who rapidly increased the number of families living in the palace. After political changes in 1948 Martinic palace was nationalized, which, in this case, was really helpful. In 50ties the first restoration works started and the great reconstruction lasted from 1966 till 1972. After the restoration had been terminated The Center of the Chief Architect of the City of Prague moved in. Since 2002 our palace has had a private owner again.
