Mirbach Palace

Slovakia, Bratislava
An 18th-century rococo stucco building is located in the historic center of Bratislava, close to the Franciscan Church. Initially, it belonged to the merchant Martin Spek, after some time passed into the possession of Count Karol Niari. The last owner of the palace was the nobleman Emil Mirbach, after whom the building got its current name. Mirbach bequeathed his palace to the city, however, on the condition that it would serve as an art museum. And so it happened: today, the collections of the Bratislava City Gallery are kept within the walls of the Mirbach Palace - works by artists of the 17th-18th centuries are presented here. Also in the halls of the palaces are exhibited collections of baroque sculpture and colored engravings. The Mirbach Palace is included in the list of Slovak cultural monuments.

In Franciscan Square, which continues the Main Square, but not at all similar in atmosphere, opposite the Church of the Annunciation is the majestic Mirbach Palace, which changed several owners, but was named after the latter - Baron Emil Mirbach. The Rococo palace, which is rightly considered one of the most beautiful secular buildings in the Slovak capital, was built in 1768-1770 for the owner of the brewery Michael Spech. To do this, the ancient building, which was called the Wide Yard in the city, was bought and demolished.
