House ref. no. 2


Link to the Historical center video clip.

House ref. no. 2 (2 nam. Republiky) called "The White Rose" (U bile ruze), originally Renaissance, modified after 1585 to become a Jesuit College.

This plan fell through and the house had various owners; later there was an inn and hotel here where, in December 1799, the legendary Russian general Suvorov was put up. In 1818 the first Bohemian theatre performance was staged and later J.K.Tyl acted here.

The present appearance of the building dates from 1871.
