History: The Old Town Square Hotel & Residence incorporates two adjacent historical buildings, which are registered on the List of Prague's Architectural Monuments as well as on the UNESCO Monuments List.
One of the buildings, known as "U Lazara" (Lazarus), included a small private house chapel on the third floor, is dated to the cusp of the 15th and 16th Centuries. This chapel contains the original wood beam ceilings, ornamented with figural paintings and can be attributed to an unknown artist of the early Renaissance. At the end of 18th Century, the chapel was made defunct and its wonderful painted ceilings covered. However, thanks to this, the beauty of these ceilings was preserved. These spaces are not freely accessible to the public.
The neighbouring building contains a treasure of its own in the form of beautiful underground cellars, which date back to the late 12th century. The building was previously known as "U jednorozce" (The Rhinoceros), but today is known as a "Bily konicek" (The White Horse). The architect Matej Rejsek, reconstructed the building in 1496 and added the renowned portal adorned with lilies and beautiful rib vaults at the entrance. According to legend, the stone-made portrait hanging from the centre of the vault is the artist's self-portrait.
Today's facade dates to the latter half of the18th century.
A memorial tablet, which is situated on the outside wall of the building, reminds us that in 1848, this was the home of the Bedrich Smetana (our famous composer) academy of music.
