Schebek Palace

Schebek Palace (Czech: Schebkův palác), otherwise known as "The House of the Angel", is a neo-renaissance building located at Politických vězňů 7, čp.

[1][2] Prior to the construction of the current Palace, the building lot was occupied by an orphanage.

It was sold to two railway magnates, Jan Schebek and František Ringhoffer, in 1868.

[3][4] Jan Schebek then commissioned architect Vojtěch Ignác Ullmann to design the current building.

Of special note are its ceiling murals by Viktor Barvitius, sculptures by Josef Wagner, and the building's marble staircase which leads to the first floor's main reception rooms.
