Jiri-Mahen Library, former Palais Schrattenbach, Brno

Leopold took his children to Brno in October 1767 to escape the chickenpox epidemic in Vienna, where they were looked after by Count Schrattenbach, the bishop of Olomouc and later the Archbishop of Salzburg. The palace underwent serious restoration works in the late 20th century so you can still get a sense of the grace of the former palatial property.
