We stopped to eat lunch at this wonderfully remodeled location. They have kept the authentic look, but modernized the interior and put in a small coffee/tea house and restaurant. The menu has something for everybody, especially hungry bicyclists on vacation. The area is like a backyard type of experience and the inside is like someone’s living room. They rent out several spaces for company events too. It’s a hidden gem in every sense of the word an definitely worth a visit! I’d go out of my way to go here again!

Jan Hus Memorial

The Jan Hus Memorial stands at one end of Old Town Square. The huge monument depicts victorious Hussite warriors and Protestants who were forced into exile 200 years after Hus, and a young mother who symbolises national rebirth. The monument was so large that the sculptor designed and built his own villa and studio where the work could be carried out. It was unveiled in 1915 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Jan Hus' martyrdom. The memorial was designed by Ladislav Šaloun and paid for solely by public donations.

Born in 1369, Hus became an influential religious thinker, philosopher, and reformer in Prague. He was a key predecessor to the Protestant movement of the sixteenth century. In his works he criticized religious moral decay of the Catholic Church. Accordingly, the Czech patriot Hus believed that mass should be given in the vernacular, or local language, rather than in Latin. He was inspired by the teachings of John Wycliffe.
