Humlův dům, Baroque building in Malá Strana, Czech Republic

Humlův dům, also called Trnkův dům, is a late Baroque to Classicist house built between 1769 and 1774 at Hroznová 500/1 on Kampa, adjacent to house no. 543. The Prague builder Matyáš Hummel bought the empty plot in 1761; the house is documented as his property by 1774 and its existence is certain from 1786.

The plot on the bank of the Čertovka was sold as a building site in 1629, but construction only began at the end of the 17th century. In 1761 the Prague builder Matyáš Hummel bought the empty site; the house is documented as his property in 1774 and its existence is certain from 1786. In 1865 it was adapted for the actor Pavel Švanda ze Semčic, and in 1959 the artist Jiří Trnka bought and renovated it.

The house is named after Matyáš Hummel, the Prague builder who bought the empty plot in 1761; it is also called Trnkův dům after the artist Jiří Trnka, who bought it in 1959 and had it renovated. Actor Pavel Švanda ze Semčic owned it when it was adapted in 1865.

The building sits within Malá Strana and is easily accessed on foot while walking through the neighborhood's narrow streets. The area is well served by tram stops and pedestrian paths that connect to other sights in the district.

The house is also called Trnkův dům after the painter and illustrator Jiří Trnka, who bought it in 1959 and had it adapted; the earlier name comes from the Prague builder Matyáš Hummel, who acquired the empty plot in 1761.
