Lobkowicz Palace, constructed in the mid-16th century for Czech nobleman Jaroslav of Pernštejn, stands as the only privately owned building within the expansive Prague Castle complex. The Lobkowicz family acquired the palace in 1603 through a dynastic marriage, but it was seized under communist rule after World War II. The family regained ownership in 2002, restoring a significant piece of their heritage. Today, visitors can explore the palace’s rich history and admire its well-preserved architecture, offering a glimpse into the lives of one of Bohemia’s most influential families.
