"Czernin Palace was built by Italian architect Francesco Caratti in 1668. A big part of family funds was spent on building and decorating the palace. After finishing the palace it served as a famous picture gallery. Since then the palace has had its “ups and downs”. It was looted by the French in 1742 and bombarded by the Prussian. The palace was also used as a shelter for poor people and as a barracks. On the other hand Jan Rudolf Czernin organized here a gala ball on the occasion of the coronation of Leopold II."
