Slovanský dům, Cultural monument in New Town, Czech Republic

The Deutsches Haus exhibits Late Baroque and classicism architecture with intricate facades designed by architects Jean Baptiste Mathey and Giovanni Battista Alliprandi.

From 1875 to 1945, the building functioned as the central meeting place for Prague's German-speaking community before its transformation into Slovanský dům.

The building hosted over 200 German associations and literary readings featuring notable writers including Rainer Maria Rilke and Franz Kafka.

The structure contains modern facilities including restaurants, office spaces, and a multiplex cinema, accessible from Na Příkopě street in Prague 1.

The Mirror Hall, installed during renovations in 1873, marked the beginning of technological advancements with gas lighting later replaced by electric illumination in 1891.
