Locality
The Motešický Palace is located in the center of the Old Town of Bratislava, in close proximity to the SND and Hviezdoslav Square. It is situated in between the streets Gorkého and Laurinská. The history of the original building dates back to the Middle Ages, more precisely to 1590, when there stood a tavern U divého muža (At the Wild Man’s). For centuries, it was one of the most luxurious inns in Pressburg, which accommodated rich noblemen during coronation ceremonies or session of the Hungarian Parliament. In 1840, the inn was bought by the Motešický family who rebuild it into a palace we see today. The palace served as a place for discreet meeting of the highest nobility of that period. There was a casino for moguls and a men’s equestrian club. During the socialist era, the building served as an apartment building. The building is now a protected historical sight.
In the years 2008 – 2010, the building underwent a complex renovation and an extension was added. Since then, the palace is being used as an apartment building.
Object characteristics
The building has seven floors and two underground floors. It consists of two parts: the original Motešický Palace (to the fourth above-ground storey) and the extension added in 2010 (from the fifth to the seventh above-ground storey). On the two underground floors there are technical rooms and warehouses, on the four underground floors there are underground garages. On the ground floor there are commercial rentable units and restaurants, on the other six floors there are luxury apartments. Apartments on the sixth floor were built as maisonettes.
