Obecní dům, Cultural monument in Semily, Czech Republic

Obecní dům is a four-storey Neo-Renaissance building with a small tower at Husova Street 70 in Semily, designed by architect Jan Vejrych and built in 1907–1908. Its gable carries a mosaic of Venetian glass with the town coat of arms, made to a design by Jano Köhler. The house was built with brewery cellars and an ice store in the basement, linked to the brewery by a tunnel under the street.

Obecní dům was built in 1907–1908 to plans by architect Jan Vejrych on a site cleared by a 1904 fire that started in the brewery's malt cellars. The town council used the project to solve several needs at once: municipal offices, brewery cellars with an ice store linked to the brewery by a tunnel under the street, restaurants and savings bank offices. The estimated cost of 76,226 K rose to 259,792 K, and final approval came only in 1913.

The house's name changed with its owners: built as the Obecní dům, it became the Okresní dům (district house) after the district committee bought it in 1914, and the TOPEX 99 company restored the original name after reopening it on 18 December 2000. The mosaic of the town coat of arms on the gable was made of Venetian glass to a design by Jano Köhler.

Obecní dům stands on Husova Street, in the block below the church of St Peter and St Paul. Since 1 May 2024 it is no longer a hotel but a residential building under reconstruction, so the interior is not open to visitors; the façade and its mosaic gable can be seen from the street.

The mosaic on the gable is made of Venetian glass and shows the town's coat of arms; it was designed by Jano Köhler. The building also had brewery cellars with an ice store in its basement, linked to the town brewery by a tunnel under the street.
