EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the breathtaking Storch House, also known as "At the Stone Virgin Mary," located at No.16 in Prague's Old Town Square (Staromestske namesti). Dating back to the 10th century, the Old Town Square is a historical gem, and the Storch House, with its Neo-Renaissance facade, is a striking addition to its medieval charm. Designed by the renowned Czech architect Mikolas Ales in the 19th century, the Storch House facade is a masterpiece of figurative painting. The most prominent feature is the image of St. Wenceslas on horseback, a beloved Czech patron saint. Wenceslas, depicted in his royal attire, holds a crown in one hand and a dagger in the other, symbolizing his role as a duke and protector. The intricate painting on the south facade of the Storch House is a testament to the rich history and artistic heritage of Bohemia. The balcony, adorned with a banner, adds a contemporary touch to the overall design. The age-old building stands proudly, its Neo-Renaissance architecture a harmonious blend of the past and the present. The Storch House, with its figurative painting of St. Wenceslas, is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Prague. This photograph captures the essence of the building's historical significance and artistic beauty, transporting viewers to the heart of Czech Republic's vibrant cultural heritage.
