About
Auersperg Palace (Aueršperský palác), also known as the Clary-Aldringen Palace, is an early Baroque palace located on Wallenstein Square in the Malá Strana district of Prague, Czech Republic. It is protected as part of a national cultural monument complex.
The palace was formed in 1682 through the merger of two medieval residential houses, featuring a modest early Baroque facade that underwent a minor remodeling in 1751. In the 19th century, it served as the primary city residence and political base for the brothers Prince Karl of Auersperg and Prince Adolf of Auersperg, both of whom served as minister-president of Austria and supreme marshal of Bohemia. Following its acquisition by the state in 1904, the building was utilized by various administrative authorities and today forms part of the seat of the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic.
