Stone House

The Stone House is a Gothic residence featuring elaborate stone carvings on the facade and pointed arch window frames typical of medieval construction. Its steep tiled roof with distinctive slopes completes the characteristic appearance of this merchant dwelling from the 15th century.

The house was built in the 15th century when Kutná Hora grew wealthy from silver mining and merchants constructed grand buildings. Its stone construction reflects the economic prosperity the city achieved through mining operations.

The house displays how wealthy residents lived between the 17th and 19th centuries, with furnishings and objects that reflect daily life of the period. The rooms convey a sense of household habits and the lifestyle of local merchants.

The building is located in the old town center and is easy to reach on foot with plenty of room to explore the interior spaces. Regular opening times operate except on Mondays and guided tours in various languages are available for visitors who want to learn more.

The house merges original residential spaces with museum use while preserving visible evidence of stone carvers' craftsmanship in its details. Visitors can observe how medieval artisans demonstrated their skill in the finer architectural elements throughout the structure.
