History
Count Grassalkovich Antal, the head of the Hungarian Royal Chamber, had the late Baroque-Rococo palace built according to the plans of Andreas Mayerhofer. The Fountain of Peace made by Bártfay Tibor can be seen in front of the palace. Joseph Haydn visited the palace several times while he was in the service of the Esterházy family. The Grassalkovich family was a rich Hungarian aristocratic family of Croatian origin. The family became indebted and in 1841 it got extinct. Later the Habsburg family acquired the palace. The last owner of the palace, Archduke Friedrich, Duke of Teschen, lived in it until 1905. In 1939 the palace became the residence of Josef Tiso, the president of the first independent Slovakia. It has been the residence of the president of Slovakia since 1996.
