Description:
For centuries the House at the Three Ostriches - "U tri pstrosu" had a variety of owners, but never has changed its purpose. It always was and it'll always be a hospitable place for everyone who pays a visit. In the beginning of 20th
century, the tavern was owned also by Mrs. Josefina MGllerova who was first letting out the house and later she sold it to Josef Dundra in 1921. He reconstructed it in 1938. At that time, precious frescos were discovered and a colored
renaissance wooden ceiling was uncovered. At the same time, stylish furniture was installed, as well as tiled hearth and lunettes featuring construction of Charles Bridge. Restoration work was done by architects Zazvorka a M. Skvor,
under supervision of Prague's conservation authorities.
Location:
