Black house, Stone house in Charles Square, Czech Republic
The Black House is a two-story stone building with dark facades and traditional architectural details in the heart of Prague. The structure sits directly on Charles Square and fits into the surrounding medieval street landscape with its solid masonry walls.
The house was built in 1619 during a time when Charles Square became a key center of Prague's urban growth. It reflects the construction methods and style of that early phase of city expansion in the Bohemian region.
The building gets its name from the dark coloring of its facade, which visitors notice immediately when entering the square. People passing through the area today use it as a landmark and meeting point in the heart of the city.
The building sits in a busy area with direct access to restaurants, shops, and cultural venues in the immediate surroundings. Its location makes it easy to reach other sights and public transportation options in the central district.
The building is a protected cultural monument of the Czech Republic and is admired for its dark stone facade. The darkness of the walls came from special processing of local stone that was typical of early Prague construction methods.
