Husův sbor - Prague 2

Nice renovated Neo-Renaissance building with interesting sgraffito decoration.

The Federal House of the Vyšehrad Savings Bank with a historic façade of mixed style is the work of architects and builders František Josef Hodek and Alois Dlabač. It was built between 1908-09. In 1917, a fence and retaining wall was added on the slope behind the house. In 1947, the house was bought by the Czechoslovak Hussite Church, which converted the hall in the front wing into a prayer room and set up a columbarium in 1972. In the hall there is a glass plaque, reminiscent of both the purchase of the house and the first service of April 16, 1949, or the establishment of a service hall on November 11, 1950.
