House of Storch

Storchov house, Štorchův dům, Storchuv house
Czech republic, Prague
The Storch House, located on the corner of Old Town Square in Prague, is known for its unique design that cannot be characterized by any particular architectural style. The modern-looking building was built in 1897, before that it was rebuilt more than once. On the facade of the house there are frescoes depicting St. Wenceslas on a white horse, a dragon, the coat of arms of Prague, as well as storks.

The facade painting is amazing. Everything is so skillfully and beautifully done that at first glance it seems that this is not a creation of human hands.

There are many interesting buildings in Prague with their own history, and it is difficult to single out the most beautiful of them. The house of the publisher Oleksandr Storkh on the corner of the Old Town Square is one of the most remarkable buildings in the capital. The facade of the house does not stand out with stucco elements, bas-reliefs or other three-dimensional details, like neighboring buildings - the more impressive looks on a flat wall of its elegant Gothic bay window. When Storch's house was being renovated, architect Friedrich Ohman planned to create a flat faç ade in the new building without embossed decorations.
