Former home of President Havel

Apartment Block is where Vaclav Havel and his first wife Olga lived as president and first lady, turning down the royal accommodations at the Prague Castle. Here is where Havel wrote some of his most astounding and significant essays, pushing for the peaceful future of his country.

Located next to the Frank Gehry-inspired "Dancing Building", Apartment Block is more subtly notable, with its tilted roof decor and windows overlooking the Jiraskuv Bridge. You can't go inside the home, but a walk down this street packs in a good deal of recent historical context.
