The Lobkowicz Palace was built in the mid-16th century, the Lobkowicz Palace is one of the most significant cultural sites in the Czech Republic and the only privately owned palace in the Prague Castle complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Through the centuries, the Palace witnessed some of Bohemia’s most important historical events.

Built in the mid-16th century by Bohemian nobleman Jaroslav of Pernstein (1528–1569). It was here that Maria Manrique de Lara y Mendoza (1538–1608), wife of his brother Vratislav, Chancellor of the Bohemian Kingdom (1530–1582), brought the celebrated Infant Jesus of Prague statue from her homeland of Spain. The statue, renowned for its miraculous healing powers, was gifted to their daughter, Polyxena of Pernstein (1566–1642), who donated it to the Church of Our Lady Victorious in Prague.

The Palace came into the Lobkowicz family through the marriage of Polyxena to Zdenko Adalbert Popel, 1st Prince Lobkowicz (1568–1628), in 1603. In 1618, the famous Defenestration of Prague took place when Protestant rebels threw Catholic Imperial Ministers from the windows of the Royal Palace in Prague Castle. Surviving the fall, they took refuge in the adjoining Lobkowicz Palace, where they were protected by Polyxena.

For 300 years, the Palace was passed down to each ruling prince. It took on a more formal, Imperial role and functioned as the Prague residence when the family needed to be present at the seat of Bohemian power for political and ceremonial purposes.
