Palác Euro - Astra

The Astra Palace was built in 1925 and became the first functionalist building in Prague. It was designed by architect Ludvík Kysela for the wholesaler and industrialist August Lindt. He was inspired by two slabs of chocolate - one dark, the other white - joined back to back. In 2011, the Astra Palace was completely but very sensitively renovated. A beautiful architectural feature of the building is the elegant internal staircase, which allows tenants to move between the different floors of the building, meeting other employees in the process. The large windows not only guarantee access to daylight, but also offer a beautiful view of Jungmannovo and Wenceslas Square. Some floors can also be connected to the neighbouring Euro Palace. Astra Palace is situated in the busiest part of Prague's city centre, otherwise known as the Golden Cross. This location, where Na Příkopě and 28 October Streets cross, is considered a prime and prestigious business location.
