(Translated by Google) One of the buildings that if you visit the Old Town Square, does not go unnoticed. On the façade you can see a fresco designed by Aleš Mikuláš at the end of the 19th century, of Saint Wenceslaus riding a white horse and at the feet the drawings of an eagle and a lion as emblems of the saint. On the right is a drawing of a tree with a snake at its feet representing evil, and a bird at the top representing freedom. (Original) Uno de los edificios que si se visita la Plaza de la Ciudad Antigua, no pasa desapercibido. En la fachada se puede ver un fresco diseñado¡ por Aleš Mikuláš a finales del siglo XIX, de San Wenceslao montando un caballo blanco y a los pies los dibujos de un águila y un león como emblemas del santo. A la derecha el dibujo de un árbol con una serpiente a los pies representando la maldad, y un pájaro en la parte de arriba que representa la libertad.

Amazing Building Facade. We didn't see it during the night when we arrive but was one of the first things that stood out during the day. The painting on the house was really impressive.

(Translated by Google) The architectural appearance of the house is difficult to characterize with a specific style: it combines the elements of the Czech Neo-Renaissance and Gothic, and the cellars completely retained the features of romanticism. Initially, on the site of the Storkhovy house was a building of the 15th century, which changed many names: At the Black Doors, At the Black Gates, At the Stone Virgin Mary. In the 19th century, it was bought by the publisher Alexander Shtorkh under the name Marshalkovsky House, after which the building got its modern name. In 1896-1897, the new owner of the house underwent reconstruction under the direction of the Austrian architect Friedrich Oman. During perestroika, builders unexpectedly discovered an old Gothic bay window. Despite the fact that this decorative element did not correspond to the neo-Renaissance concept of reconstruction, it was decided to restore it and leave it on the facade of the building. A surprise for the builders was not only a bay window, but also a hidden little Gothic chapel. After the demolition of one of the inner walls, a room was found behind it without a single entrance and exit with a table on which the sword lay. The purpose of the mysterious Chapel of the Storch House is still a mystery to historians. During the Prague uprising at the end of World War II, the building was badly damaged by a fire, but in 1948 it was restored. For a long time, the house was occupied by the printing house and the Storch bookstore, and today it houses one of the many souvenir shops in Prague. The latest restoration of the eclectic facade dates back to 1993. (Original) Архитектурный облик дома сложно охарактеризовать конкретным стилем: он объединяет в себе элементы чешского неоренессанса и готики, а подвалы и вовсе сохранили черты романтизма. Первоначально на месте Шторхового дома находилось здание XV века, которое сменило множество названий: У Черных дверей, У черных ворот, У Каменной Девы Марии. В XIX веке его под названием Маршалковский дом приобрел издатель Александр Шторх, после чего здание получило свое современное название. В 1896-1897 годах новым владельцем дома была проведена реконструкция под руководством австрийского архитектора Фридриха Омана. Во время перестройки строителями неожиданно был обнаружен старый готический эркер. Несмотря на то, что этот декоративный элемент не соответствовал неоренессансной концепции реконструкции, было принято решение восстановить его и оставить на фасаде здания. Сюрпризом для строителей стал не только эркер, но и скрытая маленькая готическая часовня. После сноса одной из внутренних стен, за ней была обнаружена комната без единого входа и выхода со столом, на котором лежал меч. Предназначение таинственной часовни Шторхового дома до сих пор остается загадкой для историков. Во время Пражского восстания в конце Второй мировой войны здание сильно пострадало от пожара, однако в 1948 году его удалось восстановить. Долгое время дом занимала типография и книжный магазин Шторха, а сегодня здесь разместился один из многочисленных пражских сувенирных магазинов. Последняя реставрация эклектичного фасада датируется 1993 годом.

At number 16 on the south side of the Old Town Square is the ever-popular Storch House (Štorchův dům) aka the House of the Stone Madonna, which boasts arguably the most beautifully painted facade of Prague’s medieval buildings. The medieval house probably originates from the 15th century and was reconstructed in Neo-Renaissance and Neo-Gothic style in 1896-1897 when bookseller and publisher Alexander Storch took over the house. Storch had it adorned with a series of figurative murals. The murals are divided into 4 sections. The bottom part shows scientific and astronomical study, the middle parts contain the seal of the City of Prague squeezed between four windows, and Saint Wenceslas on horseback while the top part shows the Three Wise Men.

I recently had the opportunity to visit the Storch House (Štorchův dům) Ques abode, also known as the House of the Stone Madonna. Built in the 15th century, it was later restored in neo-Renaissance and neo-Gothic style in 1896-1897 by Alexander Storch, bookseller and publisher. The latter frescoed the house with a series of figurative frescoes, divided into four sections. The lower part depicts scientific and astronomical studies, the central parts show the seal of the City of Prague surrounded by four windows and Saint Wenceslas on horseback, while the upper part features the Three Kings.

Interesting.

Definitely seeing worthy

Historically awesome

I visited Prague in 1993 and was very impressed by its beauty. So many beautiful old buildings.

Beautiful historic house in the old town square, with art nouveau paintings on its facade depicting Saint Wenceslaus and the three wise men.

Wonderful house facade!

(Translated by Google) The house is a new building of Friedrich Ohmann from 1897 in the style of the Vladislav Gothic. The frescoes were made by the painter Ladislav Novak according to Mikoláš Aleš's designs. They are depicted by Jan Amos Comenius, a writing monk, St. Wenceslas on horseback, a saint in the cloak, the emblem of the Czech Kingdom, the emblem of the capital city of Prague. The house was damaged in May 1945 in the battles of Old Town Square. Fixed 1948. (Original) Dům je novostavbou Friedricha Ohmanna z roku 1897 ve stylu vladislavské gotiky.

Prag ist einfach eine wunderschöne Stadt. Ich war zum ersten Mal hier schon 1979. Seid daher hat er sich unglaublich verändert. Es lebt und pulsiert, was damals noch nicht der Fall war. Es gibt auch viele schöne Geschäfte direkt in der Altstadt, wo man sehr gut shoppen gehen kann. Bin jetzt schon das vierte Mal hier, aber bestimmt nicht das letzte Mal.
