Salvatore's House

Slovakia, Bratislava
The Neo-Renaissance building was built in 1904 by the famous architect Ferdinand Kittler. Located in the historical center of Bratislava. The facade of the house is decorated with a stone sculpture of Christ the Savior by Alois Rigel. The customer of the construction, pharmacist Rudolf Adler, opened the pharmacy “At Salvator” on the ground floor, which is why the building got its current name. The pharmacy lasted 102 years until it was closed in 1996. All of the 18th-century furniture and pharmaceutical instruments in the room became part of a private collection. Currently, the first floor of the building is abandoned, and the apartments on the upper floors are occupied by employees of the Slovak National Theatre. Since 1963, the Salvatore House has been a national cultural monument.

The neo-baroque house was built in 1904 by Ferdinand Kittler and commissioned by pharmacist Rudolf Adler. On the ground floor there was a pharmacy "U Salvatora". A large sculpture of the Savior (Salvator) by Alois Rigelle adorns the facade. At the level of the second floor there is a balcony with wrought iron bars on the entire width of the facade, a large corner bay window with columns divides the facade into two parts. In the 18th century, the pharmacy was part of the Jesuit College. After the ban on the Order, the pharmacy was transferred to private hands, and its equipment was transported to a house on Panska Street.
