Mirbach Palace
The Mirbach Palace (Slovak Mirbachov palác ) is a palace in Bratislava , in which the stairs, the corridors and the rooms have been preserved in the so-called Bratislava Rococo style. It is located in the northern part of the old town opposite the Franciscan Church .
history
The palace was built from 1768 to 1770 according to plans by the local master builder Matthäus Höllrigl on behalf of the brewery owner Michal Spech. It was built in place of an earlier building from the 15th century.
The palace had several owners, including Counts Imrich Csáky and Karol Nyári. The palace is named after its last private owner, Emil Mirbach, who was shot by the advancing Red Army in 1945. As a result, the palace and the Mirbach art collections it contained were expropriated. Earlier representations in the official brochure from 1980, according to which Emil Mirbach should have donated the house to the state, are no longer maintained in the museum guide today. In 1963 the Mirbachpalais was placed under monument protection. After the building underwent a thorough renovation, it has housed part of the art collection of the Municipal Gallery since 1975 .
architecture
The palace is divided into four wings and has an open interior gallery. The stairwell and the representative rooms on the first floor are richly decorated in the spirit of the times .
For the stairs hard was Kaiserstein from the imperial quarry near Vienna used.
