Santini Residence Praha - romantic accommodation in Prague centre
- Valkounský house no. 14 is named after the owner, Knight Bohuchval Valkoun from Adlar, from the beginning of the 17th century.
- According to an early Baroque project of Kryštof Dientzenhofer, the house was rebuilt in the 16th century, as all the neighbouring houses were just after the fire of 1541.
- In 1601 it was bought by Kašpar, brother of Kaplíř from Sulevice, who was executed on the Old Town Square.
- The house acquired its Baroque shape during 1705 – 1727, when it was owned by a famous baroque architect, Jan Blažej Santini-Aichel. However, when Santini died, a renowned goldsmith, Diesbach, bought the house in an auction and built up the third floor.
- Of interest to the keen eye may be the exquisite details such as a Medusa relief over the left entrance, a cartouche and a small head next to it beyond the right entrance, an oval cartouche with a painting of Virgin Mary and the Holy Trinity above the second floor windows or the functional sun dial placed on the façade in the inner block.
