Former barracks, New Town, Prague
P1100296.JPG
Stone houses stood here from the 11th century. But I'll skip. In the 17th century a Capuchin monastery was built here. Emperor Joseph II. abolished the monastery and made a barracks from the building.
In the middle of the 19th century, almost the entire building was demolished and lined with a neo-Gothic building. It remained in this form until 1993.
Then the barracks were sold to a private investor who tore them down. Newly, only the facade you see in the photo was built. Behind the front is a labyrinth of glass and concrete.
