Císařský dům, Cultural monument in Republic Square, Plzeň, Czech Republic
The Renaissance building features two distinct portals, one dated 1565 and another from 1793, with characteristic red-tiled roofing and original sgraffito decorations.
The structure, formed by merging two houses in 1606, was prepared as a residence for Emperor Rudolf II, who never actually stayed in the building.
The first floor contains a Renaissance-era salon with painted allegorical scenes representing the virtues and characteristics of an ideal ruler.
The ground floor of the building currently houses the municipal information center, providing visitors with details about Plzeň and its attractions.
During renovation work in 1993, workers discovered original Renaissance sgraffito depicting riders hidden beneath layers of facade material.
