The castle in Zderaz, built on the banks of the Vltava River in the New Town of Prague at the turn of the 15th century, one of the residences of King Wenceslas IV (r. 1378–1419), is depicted on many historical views of Prague. Newly identified drawing by the Dutch painter Roelandt Savery from around 1610 provides a detailed idea of this otherwise completely vanished castle. This drawing, together with already known vedute, enables to reconstruct the formation process of the castle, with a large residential tower in the earlier core, reminiscent of the East Bohemian castle of Kost. King Wenceslas added short wings to this core, probably...

The building history of the Church of the Holy Salvator in Clementinum in the Old Town of Prague has not yet been clearly interpreted in many aspects. This article deals with the internal arrangement of the church, mainly the structural transformations of the presbytery and the adjacent side chapels, in the light of historical plans and preserved inventories. Author discusses questions how much the previous building structure of the medieval Dominican church influenced the shape of the Renaissance new building, why the existing pillars are not drawn between the presbytery and the chapels in the earliest plans of the church, or how the interior of the...

Augusta Müllerová was one of the first Czech architects, at a time when women only rarely completed university studies in the technical field. The following text outlines the circumstances with which young adepts of architecture had to cope in the first half of the 20th century. Further on, it maps the topics for which the left-leaning Müllerová was involved in public life from a young age: it was mainly the position of women in society and health care reform. When, after long years of economic crisis and war conflict, she was able to start implementing her hitherto mostly theoretical projects, she became persona non grata due to the political process...
