Our venue - Pisztory Palace in the center of Bratislava

Pisztory Palace was built in eclectic style in 19th century as a property of local pharmacist Felix Pisztory. During the war-time Slovak state, it served as the seat of the German representation. In 1950s during socialism era there was Museum of V. I. Lenin. Today the left wing of the palace is a home ground of "Theatre with no Home" and the base for our training course.
