Knížecí dům, Renaissance house at Velké náměstí, Prachatice, Czech Republic
The Knížecí dům stands as a two-story corner building featuring elaborate sgraffito decorations on its western facade, depicting biblical and allegorical scenes.
Originally built in Gothic style, the house underwent Renaissance reconstruction in 1572 and served as residence for Prachatice estate officials during the 18th century.
The western wall displays Renaissance sgraffito from 1573 with scenes of Saint George, biblical stories, and German inscriptions inspired by woodcut artist Erhard Schoen.
The building connects to the adjacent Národní dům through internal passages, allowing visitors to explore both historical structures during their visit.
The sgraffito includes a satirical scene showing a devil recording gossiping neighbors on donkey skin, representing local medieval moral teachings.
