Melantrich building, Art Nouveau building in Wenceslas Square, Czech Republic

The Melantrich building features twelve floors of retail spaces, offices, and residential units spanning over 10,000 square meters in central Prague.

Czech publisher Jaroslav Šalda and politician Václav Klofáč acquired this building in 1910 to establish the headquarters of their successful newspaper České slovo.

The building's balcony became central to the 1989 Velvet Revolution when Václav Havel addressed 200,000 people gathered at Wenceslas Square.

The property contains 60 residential apartments, 36 parking spaces, and maintains modern security systems with electronic fire detection throughout the structure.

Named after Renaissance publisher Jiří Melantrich, this building housed the first tabloid newspaper production facility in Czech territories during the 1920s.
