ballroomA Neo-Renaissance building on Slavonic Island, sometimes referred to as Žofín. It acquired its present appearance in 1886, and was restored in 1992 - 1994.

In the years 1835 - 1837, thanks to miller Václav Novotný, the first brick built structure, based on the project of Vincenc Kulhánek, was constructed on the island, at that time called Dyer`s Island. This classicist two-storied building is the core of the northern part of today`s palace. The island was connected with the embankment by bridge. Soon after being completed, the building came to be called ŽOFÍN, after the mother of Emperor Francis Joseph I, Sophie. Between 1885 and 1887, the palace was re-built in Neo-Renaissance style, at the initiative of the City administration, which bought the whole island in 1884. The project was designed by Jindřich Fialka and the interior of the building is decorated with paintings by František Duchoslav and Viktor Oliva.

In the 1930s, a garden restaurant and a music pavilion were added to the original building, and the island was laid out as a park by architect František Šrámek.

In 1992 - 1994, this cultural monument was reconstructed by the Prague 1 City Council to continue its tradition as a living document of more than 150 years of Czech cultural and social life.
