Built in the style of the monumental Roman Baroque by architects J. B. Mate and J. Canevalle in 1689-1691, the palace closed with its foundation houses belonging to the burghers and nobles. Count Michal Oswald Thun-Hohenstein - the first owner of the palace - housed a library here, as well as valuable collections. After the sale of the palace in 1718, the Duchess Maria Anna of Tuscany became its owner. The Tuscan Palace is a representative building with four wings, a symmetrical facade and two towers.
The wall above the cornices between the gazebos is decorated with seven sculptures representing various arts. The author of the sculptures is Jan Brokoff. It is this sculptural design of the attic that brings the Tuscan Palace closer to the Roman palaces of the 17th century. Incomparable in skill is the sculpture of the Archangel Michael, the patron saint of the first owner of the palace, to which he was built. The statue is located on the corner of the palace.
Its author is Ottavio Mosto, who created the sculpture in 1693.
