House at the Two Golden Bears, Renaissance house in Old Town, Czech Republic
The House at the Two Golden Bears exhibits Renaissance arcades and an ornate portal decorated with two bear reliefs at the junction of Melantrichova Street.
Originally constructed from two Gothic houses in 1403, the building underwent significant Renaissance renovations before 1567 and expanded during the Baroque period after 1726.
The portal, designed by court architect Bonifaz Wohlmut in 1590, features knights holding branches opposite the bears, representing the Great Bear and Little Bear constellations.
Located at Kožná 1/475 in Prague 1, the building belongs to the Prague City Museum and remains closed for internal visits.
Underground corridors connect the building's basement to the Church of Our Lady before Týn and the Old Town Hall through a network of passages.
