Národní památkový ústav Územní odborné pracoviště v Praze - Na Perštýně 356

When I arrived at the NPÚ Na Perštýně branch, my breath caught for a moment. Many of the beautiful places I've visited in the last two years are concentrated on the bookshelves of a small room, and one has a problem for the first few minutes, where to look at all and what to see first. If you are a fan of history and architecture, then this place will definitely not disappoint. The oldest mention of the house in which the NPÚ branch is located dates from 1400, the original development is probably even older and is associated with the adjacent Romanesque house (No. 357). During the 15th and 16th centuries, the house was adapted for the purposes of the brewery. In 1641 it was bought by Jaroslav Bořita from Martinice for the burgravy of Prague Castle (hence the name Purkrabský Brewery). The house remained in his possession until the 19th century. Today's appearance of the house is partly the result of a classicist reconstruction from 1848, which was later modified in Art Nouveau. Interesting fact: Around 1730, during the Baroque reconstruction, a connecting wing was added between the front house and the rear courtyard building. It is assumed that minor adjustments were made by Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer. When I arrived at National Heritage Institute's office in Perštýn, I had to hold my breath for a moment.
