Daunův palác Memorial
Daunův palác is a Baroque palace in the district of Znojmo, Jihomoravský kraj. This monument is a protected cultural monument of the Czech Republic and is located on Masaryk Square 23, Znojmo.
This building was built before the middle of the 18th century when the house was rebuilt by the Daun family. The house was originally composed of two medieval objects, which were probably connected already during the Renaissance reconstruction. The House of Daun has rebuilt the palace in its early classical form.
The palace is characterized by Renaissance architecture adapted in early classicism. Construction style and materials are documented, therefore it is not possible to say more about this topic.
