Dagmar Havlová, who was the sister-in-law of the late Czech politician Václav Havel, has sold a majority stake in the Prague centre Lucerna Palace for almost CZK 1 billion, Forbes reported on Monday, citing both the seller and the buyer, the company BTL.

Mrs. Havlová is retaining a 25 percent stake in the Lucerna Palace, which was built by the grandfather of Václav Havel and her late husband Ivan Havel.

She said money raised in the sale would be put into renovating the building. It was declared a national cultural landmark in 2017.
