Olomouc is unique by its church' district with 14 palaces of canons of the Metropolitan Chapter of St. Wenceslas - depicted and waymarked Baroque "Residentia Salisburgiana" is one of them.
The residence known as "Residentia Salisburgiana" was built by Canon Georg Friedrich, Graf von Salburg, Freiherr von Falkenstein (Jirí Bedrich hrabe ze Salburgu, svobodný pán ze Falkenštejna; a member of the canonry from 1666 to 1692) in the eighties of the 17th century. The aedicule entrance portal was allegedly created by the workshop of the Olomouc stonemason Anthony Kichler. The Olomouc builder Pavel Praschek is mentioned in connection with the conversion of the residence in the second third of the 18th century. The portal of the palace is decorated by CoAs of CoAs of Karl II von Liechtenstein-Castel Corno, 48th Bishop of Olomouc, and Georg Frededrich von Salburg.
