Olomouc is unique by its church' district with 14 palaces of canons of the Metropolitan Chapter of St. Wenceslas - depicted and waymarked Baroque "Residentia Salmiana" is one of them.
This four-winged residence is named after the canon Julius, Count of Salm-Reichenscheid. The coat of arms of Bishop of Karl II von Liechtenstein-Castel Corno, 48th Bishop of Olomouc, is located on the front of the residence, adapted in the 2nd quarter of the 18th century. The heraldic symbol of the canon Otto Honorius Eckg, dated 1737, and relating to the reconstruction of the residence, is located on the eastern court wing. The private chapel with a bay window in the western court wing was decorated at the time of the ownership of the residence by this canon. The Olomouc painter Peter Hochecker was responsible for the paintings dating from 1730, with the themes of "The Supper at Emmaus," "The Apotheosis of the Christian faith" and "The Glorification of the four holy Johns".
