Dům Budovců z Budova, Cultural monument in Old Town, Czech Republic.

Dům Budovců z Budova is a house on Týnská Street in Prague's Old Town, named after Václav Budovec z Budova, executed in 1621. A Gothic house stood here from the 14th century; the builder Filip Heger, who owned it from 1777, probably gave it its 18th-century Baroque form. A balcony courtyard was added in the early 19th century, and the ground floor now holds apartments.

The building originated in the 14th century with Gothic design, but gained prominence through a tragic event in 1621 when its owner Václav Budovec was executed at Old Town Square along with 26 other nobles. This execution marked a turning point that linked the house to one of Prague's most significant historical moments.

The house bears the name of the Budovec family and displays an iron statue of Václav Budovec on its facade, keeping the family's memory alive in the Old Town landscape. Local residents and visitors recognize the building through this commemorative element that marks its connection to one of Prague's notable families.

The house stands on Týnská Street in Prague's Old Town, a short walk from Old Town Square. The ground floor, once occupied by a café for two decades, has been converted into apartments, so the building is not open to visitors; the street facade and the cast-iron statue of Václav Budovec with its memorial plaque on the plinth can be seen from outside.

The house passed to Václav Budovec's widow Anna, who sold it in 1628 to Countess Anna Maria von Nageroll, née von Hasenburg. The Klebelsberg family then held it: Jan Oldřich and, until 1689, his son František Mikuláš.
