Super beer and beautiful well-being on Christmas Day

Normally inaccessible for "ordinary" visitors (now the seat of the Museum of the Capital City of Prague) - visited within the Open House Prague. Amazing place with a rich history. Beautiful arcades with columns inside an enclosed courtyard. Unique renaissance portal. It is also worth mentioning the hand-painted wooden ceiling. In this house, a "furious reporter" Egon Ervin Kisch was born in 1885, which is commemorated by a memorial plaque on the wall of the building.
