Dům U koulí, Cultural monument in Vnitřní Město, Czech Republic.
Dům U koulí is a cultural monument in Písek's Old Town featuring decorative cannonballs embedded into its facade. These ornamental additions are clearly visible from street level and define the building's appearance.
The cannonballs were found during the demolition of the Putim Gate in the 19th century and incorporated into the facade afterward. This salvaged material reflects the building's connection to the city's fortified past.
The house holds connections to Czech writer Fráňa Šrámek, who lived there during his formative years. This link to the writer remains part of the building's identity in local memory.
The building sits near the riverbank and is easy to spot from the street thanks to its distinctive facade. Visitors can observe the cannonballs and architectural details while walking through the neighborhood.
The municipality is developing plans to convert the building into artist residences with studios in the upper floors. This initiative links the historic facade with contemporary creative use.
