In the Middle Ages in this area contained no built - the Square of Liberty, up the slopes of the Little Carpathians went vineyards belonging to either the townsmen, or religious institutions. The vineyards are only interrupted communication pulling Moravia and Prague. who went in the direction of today's Štefánikova. In the context of military events on the Turkish front in the 16th century, Bratislava became the capital of the kingdom, and consequently there have been downloading some institutions and royal officials. When the king's consent, so that in the city and its surrounding property have nobility, it should result in expansion of construction activity in the early 17th century and the next decades. Burgher aristocracy purchased by vineyards around the perimeter of the city and adjusted them to its ornamental gardens under Italian and French design. In the gardens of suburban villas subsequently created the character, the barons majetnejších acquiring features extensive garden palace with economic backgrounds. The territory bounded by streets today Štefánikova, Lešková, convex and us. freedom to buy burgers from Francis, Archbishop of Esztergom Forgách early 17th century and established here ornamental and fruit garden. At its edge in contact with a large open area of ​​the square, came about in 1614 the summer residence of the Archbishop. It was probably a 1-storey building footprint of elongated, oriented parallel to the edge of the garden. Lippay George, who was Archbishop of Esztergom between 1642 to 1666 he rebuilt in grandiose style as a garden and a palace. The form of this palace is captured on the engraving of the early 18th Century, so we have a rather precise idea of ​​its appearance. It was a three-leaf 1-storey building footprint to point C, whose center wing was longer than the short side wings. The space between the side wings was directed into the square and formed the so-called honorable court, serving on the arrival and welcoming guests. Honour courtyard used to have the ornamental style of the French masters adjusted area separate from street massive wrought iron fence. On the axis of the palace had been located in the main entrance fence, which went into the centrally located underpass. The carvings can be seen that the palace had Lippayho centrally situated underpass in Rizal and the person was conceived and the main garden communication. The palace had a chapel on the south side with smaller windows, completed over the tower roof. North of the middle bay on the ground floor arcade decomposed the pillars, bearing semicircular archivolts. Hall was only a ground floor, the floor was an ordinary rectangular windows with wooden shutters. The palace had a classic layout of subdivisions. where the floor has been earmarked for commercial and residential needs for higher servants, while the floor served to represent the (main wing) and sleeping for the home of Mr. and guests (side wings).

Floor north side wings then served for guest housing. The attic was occupied or not serve for storage purposes. Economic Area and čeľadník were located in buildings outside the palace. Another major reconstruction of the palace took place between 1761 to 1765 under Archbishop Barkóczyho. The exterior has been marked by dynamic Baroque style, while the interiors were decorated in a more modern spirit of rococo. The basic outline Lippayova disposition to preserve, was only one floor nadstavaná by massive central pavilion in the middle of the main wing, which exceeded its mansard silhouette of a lot adjacent wings. Lateral wings of the conversion remained unaffected except for extensions on them preserved window jambs and portal of 17 century. The main emphasis put on the middle wing of the architect, which was highlighted in the pavilion with high pilaster Radom, tympanum and arched portico with upper Terrace. Extension portico meant, inter alia, changes in the organization of transport.
