Zbraslavské náměstí čp. 455 House
House No. 455 in Prague-Zbraslavi is a two-storey residential building built in 1898 in Neobarok style. Located on the west side of Zbraslav Square and since 1987 it has been protected as a real-estate cultural monument of the Czech Republic. This historical object represents a demonstration of construction activity from the end of the nineteenth century and stands out with preserved craftsmanship both on the facade and inside.
The construction was carried out according to the design of architect Josef Vejvoda during the period of intense modernization in Czech countries, which were then part of Austria-Hungary. The architecture of that time was often accepted by historical styles, among which the neobarical style was greatly promoted. In 1928 the building underwent a reconstruction and in 1987 it acquired the status of a protected cultural monument.
The building has a ground plan in the shape of the letter L, with richly decorated stucco front. The central axis is highlighted by a flat risalite and a walled neobarical skyline. The valuable elements include a wooden door with metal decorative slaughter and a window with a complicated carved column above them. In the interior there are preserved elements such as neckvault, cast iron railing and original tiles.

The key events are the years 1898 (construction), 1928 (reconstruction) and 1987 (registration as a monument). Architectural attractions include a detailed, non-Baroque decoration of the facade. There are other historical building buildings nearby, including the well-known Arsenal monastery.
Today the house serves as a residential and can be viewed from the exterior while walking through the squares. Its neobarical facade is an important monument that illustrates the construction development of the late nineteenth century and the craftsmanship of the then builders.

Seasonal recommendations
Spring at Zbraslavské plaza brings awakening nature, when surrounding trees and greenery in adjacent parks begin to bloom and the sun rays pleasantly heat the historic facades of houses. Light is soft and creates ideal conditions for shooting details of architecture. In this period you will meet fewer visitors here, so you will enjoy the tour in peace. I recommend you put on a light jacket or coat because spring weather can be variable and the afternoon wind can cool. The best time to visit is in the morning when the square is quietest.
Summer in this historic place is characterized by a lively atmosphere, long famous days and a sharp midday light that radiates the whole area. Nature is in full power and offers a shadow under grown trees. Because of the main tourist season and holidays, you will find a larger number of people here, especially in the afternoon. It is therefore necessary to choose the early morning hours when there is still a chill. Put on breathtaking clothes made of natural materials, don't forget the headgear and bottle of drinking water.
Autumn moons turn Zbraslav Square into a quiet oasis with a melancholy atmosphere, underscored by leaves coloured in yellow and red shades falling on the pavement. The lighting is dampened due to the low sun and gives the whole place a warm feel. The crowds of tourists have already travelled, so you can enjoy the undisturbed atmosphere. Practical advice includes the choice of warmer clothes, ideally in several layers, because autumn mornings are usually foggy and cold. The best time to discover the sights is around noon, when the sun will at least pierce the clouds for a while.
Winter adds Zbraslav Square has a quiet and fairy-tale atmosphere, especially when the historic building covers a layer of snow. The days are very short, and the sunlight quickly alternates the earlier twilight, creating a specific shear. In advent time there is a peaceful rush without mass crowds. Very warm winter clothes, hats, gloves and firm non-slippery shoes are essential for this season. The best time to visit is around noon, when the outside is warmer and the surrounding light is best for a short walk before dark.
