Na Kampě 8

Na Kampě 8 is a three-wing palace in Malá Strana located between a river and a historic bridge, created from the connection of two original buildings that share a single site. The complex displays an irregular shape with multiple stories that grew through additions over the centuries.

The building first appeared in written records in 1557 when it became the property of a local family, an event that gave the place its name. It underwent major renovations in the early 19th century that shaped much of its current appearance.

The location between the river and the bridge connects this place to the daily life of the neighborhood, serving as a landmark that locals and visitors have known for centuries. Its position at this crossing point made it a natural gathering spot where the rhythm of the district unfolds.

This location sits in a pedestrian neighborhood between two recognizable landmarks, making it straightforward to find if you know the main points of the district. Visitors should note that the building is currently undergoing renovation and public access may be limited.

The basement contains remains of a medieval bridge from an earlier period, now protected as national cultural heritage and visible to those who explore below ground. These archaeological pieces reveal how older structures were built and show the layers of development in this area.
