Stone Bell House, Gothic art gallery in Old Town Square, Czech Republic
Stone Bell House is a restored building with a Gothic facade located in Old Town Square in Prague. Its walls display finely carved stone decorations and preserved details from its medieval construction period.
The structure originated during the late Gothic period as a royal residence and played a role in the square's development. During the Baroque era its historic facade became obscured, until an extensive restoration in the 1970s revealed its original appearance.
The building serves as a gallery space where contemporary artworks are displayed across multiple rooms. Visitors can experience rotating exhibitions that showcase different artistic perspectives throughout the year.
The site sits centrally on Old Town Square and is easily reached via the main plaza. Visitors should know that within opening hours there are multiple floors to explore, including exhibition spaces.
During the building's restoration, workers uncovered thousands of stone fragments, including statuary and decorative elements from the medieval period. These discoveries show how ornate the original decoration was before later styles obscured it.

Prague is known for its historic landmarks, but beyond the usual tourist routes lie numerous lesser-visited sites that offer deeper insight into the city's history and contemporary life. This collection takes you to neighborhoods, gardens and buildings often overlooked, revealing the layered past of Prague and its active cultural scene. Among the sites are the hilltop fortress of Vyšehrad with its historic cemetery, the baroque Vrtba Garden in Malá Strana, and Strahov Monastery with its impressive library. Kampa Park on Kampa Island offers quiet walks along the Čertovka Canal, while Speculum Alchemiae presents underground Renaissance-era laboratories. Troja Palace in the northern part of the city features baroque architecture and terraced gardens, and the Convent of St. Agnes houses medieval art collections. Other stops include Wallenstein Garden with its Renaissance arcades, the Letná beer garden overlooking the rooftops, and the former factory site of MeetFactory in Smíchov, now a cultural center. The National Technical Library in Dejvice and the rotating Kafka head sculpture on Národní třída represent contemporary Prague. From the Invalidovna fortress complex in Karlín to the Royal Game Reserve in Bubeneč, this collection provides varied perspectives on the Czech capital.
