Primate's Palace (Slovak Primaciální palác) is a neoclassical building on Primate's Square in Bratislava, built as the seat of the Archbishop of Esztergom.
History
City of Bratislava, which was at the heart of present-day Bratislava, was the head offices of archbishops, because of its historical residence in Esztergom was there. 1543 in the hands of the Turkish Pasha. The house, which in the center of the small square behind the town hall owned, probably originally stood on the ruins of ancient buildings, in the 15th 50 years century was rebuilt in Gothic style, the next big update then held at 18th 30 years century. Despite these adjustments at the end of the 18th century did not satisfy the requirements placed on the Archbishop's residence, therefore, Archbishop Jozef Batthyany decided to demolish the old building and build a new palace, and designed by architect Melchior Hefele Austrian origin; construction was finished in 1781.
After the death of Empress Maria Theresa, her son, Emperor Joseph II . transferred to the central office of Buda and the archbishopric was moved back to Esztergom. Obelisk Primasil the object left, but stayed here only sporadically. The palace was used for the temporary accommodation of kings and members of their families, there were offices, schools, apartments, etc.
26th December 1805 at the Mirror Hall of the palace was signed by Johann I. of Liechtenstein, Ignácz Gyulay and Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand called Bratislava Peace between France and Austria, which among other things has deprived Austria Tyrol and Dalmatia. In the hall was held the inaugural meeting of the Uherského Assembly (Kingdom of Hungary), which was located in the present building of the University Library. In 1848 there was signed last crowned Emperor Ferdinand V. so-called March laws like abolition of serfdom.
The first palace courtyard
3 August 1903 the palace for 120,000 gold bought in the city of Bratislava and its reconstruction was hidden in a forgotten hallway wallpaper in one of the salons discovered unique and complete a series of six unknowns tapestries, depicting the ancient tragic love story of Hero and Leander. Were made around 1630 in English Mortlake group Flemish weavers Philip de Maechta designed by Francis Clyne (probably involving Rubens and van Dyck). Archbishopric 's unearthed tried priceless tapestries from gain, but the court ruled in favor of the city. Now part of the exhibition in the prestigious premises of the palace.
In the following decade took place very generous and sensitive reconstruction for the needs of the town hall. Served this purpose until the end of the 20th 40 years century, when it was finished building a new town hall on the site of the former Ormosdyho Palace on Primate's Square, in the following decades the state rooms of the palace used as an exhibition Gallery of Bratislava. Mirror Hall, however, continued until the end of the 80 years served as a meeting hall of the then National Committee of Bratislava. At present, the palace headquarters of the Mayor and the Mirror Hall of the Town Council meets, in addition, are held weddings or concerts. Other ceremonial hall of the palace are open to the public without restriction, decorated salons are combined as a picture gallery.
The form of the palace
Tympanum with a mosaic of Ernest Zmetáka and coat of arms of Cardinal Batthyány by Matus Kögler.
The architectural layout of the building is quite simple: representational spaces are located on the north side of the building, a huge classicist facade, which not only dominates the whole building, but operates across a small square. Above the main gate is a balcony supported by four Tuscan columns, the facade is dominated by a triangular tympanum initially with fresco depicting allegories observance of God's commandments by Franz Anton Maulbertsch, it was at the time of reconstruction of the palace destroyed so that it can not save the years 1956-1958 and was replaced by color stone mosaic Ernest Zmeták. At the climax of the tympanum is placed a huge stone ancestral character Archbishop Batthyany, the Attica palaces are located next sculpture.
Tripartite input (full gate and two side entrances for pedestrians) leads to a square courtyard with statues of St. George 17th century and blind arcades. In the southwestern corner of the courtyard is a portal with a relief of the Virgin and Child in red marble, probably from the 16th century. The portal leads to a hallway, which leads into the palace chapel, which is not visible from the outside. The chapel, dedicated to St. Martin Ladislav, is built on the original site chapel residence, and in a single year (1780). Oval space pervades all floors of the palace and is connected to an adjacent room. The arch bears a mural depicting the miracle of light - Ladislav; view of authorship F.A. Maulbertsch is now being questioned. Paintings on three altars come from J. Zollinger (St. Ladislav on the main altar), J. Meydingera (painting angels on the left side altar) and J. Kohl (image sv. Josefa on the right side altar). Carved pews are from 18 century. Chapel by the end of the 2nd World War II did not serve its original mission, only in 1993 was again a place of worship.
Fountain with statues of St. . George
From the entrance vestibule based on right and left entrance hall. Left hallway leading to the main staircase, which forms the national ceremonial space on the first floor, so piano nobile. On the east side is attached to them so festive Mirror Hall. It also permeates its height into the highest floor, where it built a balcony. The room is lit only by four pairs of windows, the lack of natural light are fixed mirrors on the walls of the room at the lower floor, making a high narrow space created impressive hall.
In the entry parlor above the main staircase are portraits of Hungarian rulers - Charles III., his daughter Maria Theresa (in 1742 by Daniela Schmidelyho), Joseph II., Leopold II. and Francis I. - and the builder of the palace, Cardinal Joseph Batthyany.
A fresco on the ceiling of the chapel of St. Ladislaus.
Five salons piano nobile (green salon, brown salon, blue salon, red salon, golden salon), which are oriented to the north, the surviving part of the original wooden paneling, silk wallpaper, new, color-matching original. Here are mirrors used for simple optical zoom - in vista on the walls of the first and last room. All these rooms are complete with original ceramic tiled stove. In addition to a set of six tapestries themed love story Hero and Leander are located here mostly paintings from the collections of the Municipal Gallery, like furniture and other art objects.
Parallel to the state rooms stretch through narrow room, tapetované (wallpaper) gray silk with a musical motif, which builds on the west wing of the palace with a number of small rooms, velvet dark green color, which is currently exhibition of Dutch paintings from the collections of the City Gallery. These rooms were probably originally (in comparison with the state rooms relatively modest) Archbishop tabernacle.
Spaces on the top floor of the palace were originally only accessible to ordinary staircase official functions. Are addressed in plan like space on the first floor, are less spectacular.
Probably the only remnant of the original residence is on two stone pillars vaulted room in the south wing of the palace courtyard, which served as stables.
After renovations and modernizations is not preserved original cuisine. Probably was located on the ground floor below the hall of mirrors. Under the kitchen to keep massive cylindrical space lined with bricks (height 3.5 m, diameter 5 m), vaulted semicircular dome, most likely the original tank for domestic hot water.

Once you have the lens assembly out and the screws in the metal plate removed, it will detach fairly easily. As you take it apart, be sure to look for a wavy spacer and the lens to fall out. There has always been marks on my cameras where the spacer has rested against the lens. This will help when you put it back together to know which way the lens goes. But, just in case you forget, there is an upcoming picture that will clearly show the proper lens placement.
Be sure to clean this lens real well because this is what will insure that your pictures turn out clear and without any fogging. 50 year old cameras are notorious for acquiring a coating of dust, dirt and smoke buildup and this is what gives your pictures a ghostly haze to them. Once the lens is free from any dirt, as well as the square glass piece from the front of the camera, you will have a totally clear view for your camera to expose whatever type of film you prefer.
