     This palace (Přemyslovský
     palác) is one of Olomouc’s
     most pictur esque buildings. It
     was built after 1126 by Bishop
     Jindřich Zdík and was one of
     the most excellent works of
     res idential archi tecture in
     Europe. The bishop’s rooms,
     with their carved Romanesque
     windows and columns, are
     considered to be the best in
     the country. The Olomouc
     Archdiocesan Museum was
     opened here in 2006, with
     some fine paintings collec ted
     by the Olomouc bishops.
     The building also houses
     the Mozarteum concert hall.

In recent years it has under-
gone a thorough restoration.
The main features of its façade

including four columns and
a balus traded balcony.
The lavishly decorated
interior includes superb
Baroque paintings.

      Neo-Gothic style.
