House at the Stone Bell

The House at the Stone Bell got its name from the house sign that was placed at the corner of the building in the 16th century, as was common at the time. However, the origin of the house, which is now used as an exhibition space for important short-term exhibition projects by the City Gallery Prague, dates back as far as the second half of the 13th century.

The oldest parts of the building, in the cellars and on the ground floor of the south wing, have been preserved. The second construction phase followed around 1310 and afterward the house was rebuilt several times. During a demanding reconstruction, completed in 1988, the original Gothic frontage was discovered under the Neo-Baroque facade. At the House of the Stone Bell you will also find a bookshop, cafe with a garden area and an adjacent lounge or Blažejovna, and an original Gothic chapel, which is accessible to the general public. Exhibitions take place on the first and second floors of the building, with no elevator access to these floors, and are open from Tuesday through Sunday between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. On the third floor you will find a 13th century concert hall, where exhibition openings and concerts, as well as company and social events or weddings, regularly take place. Outside of these events, the concert hall is accessible only once a month during special guided tours.
