Johann Pálffy Palace

Johann Pálffy Palace

Johann Pálffy Palace ( _sk. Pálffyho palác or "Pálfiho palác") is a late Classicism-style building in the Old Town, Bratislava, on the Panská street, near the Hviezdoslav Square. The palace is standing on the site of former building, which was until mid-1850s seat of the Pressburg county. After the seat moved elsewhere, it was rebuilt in late Classicist style by the Pálffy family, who were former hereditary chiefs of the Pressburg county.
