Palazzo Pfanner is one of Lucca’s most elegant historic residences, celebrated for its exquisite Baroque
gardens and frescoed interiors. Originally built in the 17th century, the palace became famous when the
Pfanner family, of Austrian origin, transformed it into both a noble residence and a brewery. Today, it
serves as a museum showcasing art, antique furniture, and a peaceful garden ideal for photography
and relaxation.
