Prachatice Main Square

Highlight • Settlement

Velké náměstí, the Great Square, is the historical town centre of Prachatice. The builders and owners of the richly sgraffiti-decorated houses were mostly the richest members of wealthy patrician families. Until the 16th century, most of the houses belonged to salt traders on the Golden Path trade route. The demand for houses on the square led to the construction of a new row of houses on the east side of the original square in the 16th century. This reduced its area by about half, and the original houses on the east side became the western row of buildings in Křišťanova Street.

Prachatice Municipal Theatre

Highlight • Monument

The town theatre, founded in 1883, was extensively renovated between 1974 and 1980 and officially reopened in November 1981. It is run by the cultural and information services of the town of Prachatice. The theatre has 199 seats. The programme, with an average of 100 events per year, includes theatre performances, concerts, readings and seminars. The foyer is used for exhibitions. A significant part of the new building, built in 1901 in the neo-Renaissance style, is used by the neighbouring town administration.

Old Town Hall, Prachatice

Highlight • Historical Site

The Old Town Hall is one of the most important Renaissance buildings in Bohemia. The two-storey palace in the Florentine Renaissance style has two side wings and arcades in the courtyard. The façade facing the square is decorated mainly with figurative chiaroscuro paintings. It was designed by Italian architects in the service of the Rosenberg family. The paintings are by the Prachatice artist Jan Březnický. In addition to the council chamber and the mayor's rooms, there was also a "town wine bar" here from 1666 and later a theater on the ground floor. After the construction of the New Town Hall in 1903, the building lost its importance and became the district court (until 1974) and the seat of the District National Committee. Since 1992 it has belonged to the town of Prachatice again, which uses it as the seat of its municipal office. The central tourist information office is also located here (open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and from June to September also on Saturdays and Sundays, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.).

Prachatice Town Museum (Sitr House)

Highlight • Historical Site

The Sitr House (Sitrův dům), a two-storey town house, now houses the Prachatice Town Museum. The house was originally Gothic and was first mentioned in 1555. It took on its current form in 1604, when Ambrož Sitr had it rebuilt in the Renaissance style for his son Tomáš Sitr. The house's name also comes from this family. In 1945, the Sitr House became state property. It was decided to establish a town museum here, but due to its poor condition after World War II, the house had to be extensively renovated and the facade paintings (created by the Prachatice painter Šebestián Hájek between 1617 and 1622) restored. The museum was opened on 5 July 1954.

Church of St. James the Greater, Prachatice

Highlight • Religious Site

The Church of St. James the Greater is a significant building of the High and Late Gothic period. The current form was created during the Late Gothic reconstruction of the church from 1468 to 1513, the presbytery is older and probably dates back to the 14th century (the oldest mention of the consecration of St. James' Church dates back to 1312). During the Hussite Wars, on November 12, 1420, 85 people were burned in the sacristy of the then unfinished church, then the vault of the sacristy was demolished and the fallen stones covered the bodies.
