Birth house of Jan Hus, National cultural monument in Husinec, Czech Republic.

The Birth House of Jan Hus is house no. 36 in Husinec, a Gothic-core burgher's house rebuilt in Renaissance form around 1616 and altered after fires. It stands beside house no. 37; both have been a national cultural monument since 1978 and now form the Centre of Master Jan Hus, opened on 30 May 2015.

The core of the house is Gothic, but the present building is largely a Renaissance structure from around 1616, later altered after fires. It is first documented in 1633, when the dean of Krumlov wrote that locals showed Hus's birth room and cut shavings from it against toothache. The house became a national cultural monument in 1978.

Pilgrims long scraped splinters from the house against toothache, as the Krumlov archdeacon Gregory of Klebata reported to Archbishop Arnošt of Harrach in a 1633 letter. The house is also linked to the writer František Turinský, who visited in 1825 and wrote a poem about it.

Visitors can explore the house with guided tours available in several languages that work well for all ages. It is helpful to check opening times beforehand since hours may vary depending on the season.

A letter of 1633 records that locals showed the house as Hus's birthplace and cut splinters from it against toothache. The sculptor Bohuslav Schnirch's Hus relief was unveiled above the entrance in 1869, during the 500th anniversary celebrations.
