Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer designed the palace on Old Town Square for the Golz family. Construction ran from 1755 to 1765, and the Kinský family bought it in 1768. The article calls the style Rococo. The facade is stucco, painted pink and white, and carries statues by Ignaz Franz Platzer depicting classical elements.

The article describes no alterations beyond the change of ownership in 1768, and it gives no dimensions, no overall height and no floor area. The palace stands on Old Town Square in Prague's Old Town.

The National Gallery in Prague has administered the palace since 1949, and it serves as an art museum. It has been protected as a national cultural monument since 1992. The article does not give opening hours or ticket prices.
