The House At the Three Ostriches in Prague

Rates Booking form Map Hotels Prague (EN)

Right in the heart of Europe, Prague has a wealth of architectural treasures, one of which is the house "At the Three Ostriches". The house stands by Charles Bridge. This stone bridge, one of the jewels of Gothic architecture, was built by Charles IV, the Czech King and Holy Roman Emperor. The original house stood on the pier of the earlier Judith Bridge, which was swept away by a flood. During the time of the Hussite upheaval it was burnt down, and then rebuilt by Jan Fuchs, a supplier of ostrich feathers, who had the front wall of his house decorated with a pattern of ostriches. It was the first coffee house in Bohemia, selling coffee brought by the Greek merchant, Deodastus Damascenus. The smell of roasted coffee added to the atmosphere of the Prague area of Malá Strana, or the Lesser Town. The House At the Three Ostriches has changed ownership many times, but it has always had only one purpose - to provide hospitality for everyone who visits. The house was reconstructed in 1938 by Josef Dundr, the owner from 1921. At that time, the original frescos were revealed and the painted wooden renaissance ceiling was uncovered. At the same time it was furnished with period furniture and a tilled fireplace and lunettes with scenes of the construction of Charles Bridge were installed. In 1949, the restaurant was put under state ownership and the owners of the house - still the Dundr family - were forced to hand over the house to the state in 1961. After thirty-one years, this architectonic jewel was restituted to the family Dundr. And nowadays again, this treasure serves to the visitors of Prague. We offer a friendly welcome to visitors, who are accommodated in historic rooms with painted renaissance ceilings and comfortable period furniture. Standard equipment includes ensuite bathroom and toilet, color TV with satellite reception, radio, direct-dial telephone and a mini-bar.
