What can be extraordinary about a post office building? That’s exactly what we thought and were very surprised by what we discovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
We are walking down the street Jind\u0159i\u0161sk\u00e1 as we pass a large neo-renaissance building. Not really unusual for Prague. But we had received a tip that in exactly this street there should be a really worth seeing building – the Main Post Office Prague.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A glance through the open front door showed me that we had arrived at the right place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The architect Anton\u00edn Brandner built the building in 1871-1874. At first it was a three-storey building, which was only extended by the fourth floor in 1922. As early as 1873 the post office moved here with the Prague Post Office 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the years the building has been renovated and reconstructed several times and in 1998 it was declared a national cultural monument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you enter the building, you are standing in a large hall covered with glass. Originally, this was an inner courtyard where post buses arrived. Today, one side wing of the building is used by the Czech Post, and the Czech Post Prague offers many additional services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jind\u0159i\u0161sk\u00e1 14
Impressing! The walls are decorated with beautiful paintings. I discover many motifs related to the postal service, but also purely botanical motifs. In the gallery you can discover historical photographs on the subject of mail and some historical letterboxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCuriosities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
