French Embassy. Consulate staff at the top and wonderful building

Beautiful palace where the French embassy is. This historical monument is an ornament of the city.

A beautiful palace in which the Embassy of the French Republic is located. The garden is big and beautiful. The consulate's premises look like any other office.

Embassy of France, there is a wall of the hippie era, and a street to see the narrowest street in the country

This is a place that I personally love so much. I have him connected with the life of the French community, French culture. And last but not least, my work in various political and cultural events.

The beautiful palace complex (since 1919 the seat of the French embassy) is protected together with the opposite Grand Prior's Palace as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic. On the site of today's palace originally stood a school, which later became an alumni of the Order of the Knights of Malta. The construction of the Baroque palace was started in 1667 by the Archbishop of Prague Jan Bedřich of Valštejn. Later, the palace belonged to his niece Countess Thunovská, who sold it in 1732 to Princess Furstenberg. Another owner, Countess Hrzánská, had it rebuilt to its current form after 1735. Today's name of the palace comes from the period after 1748, when its owners were originally a French family of the Buquoy family, Counts of Longueval. Between 1850 and 1870, the interiors were rebuilt in the Neo-Baroque style.
