At the Minute, Renaissance residential building in Old Town, Prague

The Renaissance facade displays intricate sgraffito decorations with biblical scenes, Greek mythology figures, and Habsburg dynasty members across three floors.

Built in Gothic style during the 15th century, the structure underwent renovation in Renaissance style after 1564 with a third floor addition.

Franz Kafka resided in this house from 1889 to 1896, during which time his three sisters Elli, Valli, and Ottla were born.

The building maintains its position within the Old Town Hall complex, making it accessible for visitors exploring Prague's central district.

The name derives from 'minutious', referring to the small tobacco pieces sold at this location during its commercial period.
