The grandson of the painter (who had his atelier in the house from the end of the 19th century until 1938) and a hobby painter himself, during the building works in this until last year unused  atelier rescued drawings and paintings of his only locally known grandfather, who took part to the cultural life in Prague in the first decades of the 20th century and was acquainted with and portrayed Kafka, Einstein, Max Brod, Hašek and many others artists, scientists and writers who lived or spent some years in this town, know for its  cosmopolitan and multilingual attitude and the animated exchanges between Czech, German, Jewish and other cultures (1).

In this atelier-apartment we offer now place for one or two persons in a separate bedroom, with possibility for two more persons  in the living room (e.g. family with two children). The house is very central (15 minutes walk from the central place, Vaclavské square and main train station), or two underground stops from the main station plus two tram stops. You can walk from the house to the nearby beautiful and newly completely refurbished historical park “Havlickovy sady”  and within 5 minutes walk you reach the tram stop of tram line 22, the one which crosses the whole town and connect you to the castle (Hradcin) and reach the top of the hill (Bilá Hora) where the well known battle of the White Mountain (in the 30-Years-War) took place and each year there is historical re-enactment of this episode.
