Lobkowicz Palace

This guide to Lobkowicz Palace in Prague follows William Lobkowicz, a young Bostonian who watched Cold War Europe unravel on television in 1989, knowing the palace behind that garden wall had once belonged to his family. You'll hear how the Nazis seized it in 1939 and the Communists took it again in 1948, and how William spent years in Czech courts after the Velvet Revolution fighting to win back ten of his family's palaces. The tour also traces a Canaletto view of London, looted, buried in a salt mine, and seized once more.
