Faustův dům

Historically: dům Faustův na Karlově náměstí
Period: za Rudolfa II. a později

The house belonged to Mladota of Solopysky, a great lover of mechanics and chemistry. He had all manner of apparatus with which he entertained and startled his guests, and it was probably he who gave the house its mysterious reputation and the name of Faust's house. Wenceslas, Duke of Opava, was a lover of alchemy too, and under Rudolf II an alchemist lived here.
