Building of Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic

Building of Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Scientific research headquarters in Old Town, Prague, Czech Republic

The Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic is a grand neo-Renaissance building in Prague's Old Town, distinguished by its symmetrical form and ornate stone details. The broad facade displays sculpted elements above the entrance and carefully worked stonework throughout, marking it as a major center for scientific work.

The building was completed in 1863 under architect Vojtěch Ignác Ullmann and quickly became a hub for scientific research in Bohemia during the industrial era. Its construction coincided with a period when the region was strengthening and modernizing its scientific institutions.

The building takes its name from the institution it houses, reflecting the city's commitment to scientific advancement and knowledge. As you pass by, the grand exterior shows how central this place remains to Czech scientific life and education.

The building sits centrally in the Old Town and is easily reached on foot from Charles Bridge or the Old Town Square. Visitors should know that interior access is limited and available only at certain times, so checking ahead is important.

Inside the building, researchers work across multiple laboratories on topics ranging from mathematics to modern biological questions. This diversity of research fields under one roof makes it a striking example of how science advances across many different areas simultaneously.
