HOTEL BISHOPS HOUSE PRAGUE

Hotel Bishops House: During the Romanesque period, at the end of the 12th century, the powerful bishop Prince Jindřich Břetislav had a vast court built as a bishop´s seat on the left bank of the Vltava river. His successors, bishops and archbishops, e.g. Jan of Dražice (from which the name of the Dražické Square is derived) had the court extended and rebuilt.   The fire in 1249, started by the rebels against the King Wenceslas I., caused according to the chronicler Kosmas an extensive renovation of the seat. In 1419 the court was plundered and burnt down. This was the fall of the court and its walls were used for the construction of houses of Prague bourgeoisie.
