Valkounsky house, Baroque cultural monument in Malá Strana, Czech Republic.

The Valkounsky house stands on Nerudova Street at number 14 in Malá Strana and displays typical features of baroque architecture with an elaborately designed facade. The building follows the classic layout of a wealthy merchant residence from that era, with decorative stonework and carefully arranged windows.

The house is named after Knight Bohuchval Valkoun of Adlar, its owner from the early 17th century; in 1601 it was bought by Kašpar Kaplíř of Sulevice, later executed on the Old Town Square. Jan Blažej Santini-Aichel bought it in 1705 for 3,000 guilders, rebuilt it and lived there until his death in 1723; his widow sold it in 1727 for 4,580 guilders. Until the end of the 18th century it belonged to Malá Strana goldsmiths, and in the early 19th century it housed a bakery.

The house takes its name from Knight Bohuchval Valkoun of Adlar, who owned it from the early 17th century. Until the end of the 18th century it belonged to prominent Malá Strana goldsmiths, and in the early 19th century a bakery operated here. Since 2002 it has run as Hotel Nerudova 211.

The house sits on a street lined with other historical buildings, making it easy to walk along and see different facade styles side by side. This location allows visitors to compare the architecture with neighboring structures and explore the local building styles throughout the area.

A functional sundial survives on the facade in the inner block, and a Medusa relief sits over the left entrance. The house is named after Knight Bohuchval Valkoun of Adlar, who owned it from the start of the 17th century; in 1601 it passed to Kašpar Kaplíř of Sulevice, executed on the Old Town Square.
