Welcome! You are standing in front of a historical monument that is a symbol of our cultural tradition. The House on Barborská 7 is a Gothic house with a classic facade and a valb roof, originally from the Gothic period.
Let's move on to its historical context. The house has its roots in the Gothic age when architecture was characterized by high towers and stucco ornaments. Although we no longer know its original form, some architectural elements have been preserved until today.
Note the details of the facade - Classicist motifs that were added later to give the house a more modern look. Look up and you'll see the valb roof, which is typical of Gothic architecture.
The house has its secrets, but one of the most interesting is that its Gothic origin is preserved not only in the cellar, but also in the wall and above the ground level. This allows us to see what the house looked like once when architecture was full of ornaments and details.
Who are the people who lived in this house? Who is this that was meeting here? These questions remain unanswered, but we can assume that the house witnessed many historical events.

For kids
Barboric fortress
Imagine a castle with high walls and towers standing in the middle of the city. This is precisely the Barboro Castle in Prague 4.
The Barboric fortress was built in the 14th century as the fortress of the Czech King Charles IV. It was one of the largest walls in the Czech Republic.
The fort had two gates and three towers. Today the fort is a residential house, but you can still see the original wall.
It was like playing horse games, but instead of playing horse, you had a castle! The Barboro fort was a very strong fortification of the time.
