mystery somewhat solved

it took me a very long time to find any information about this house, since it doesn't even seem to have a name. but what i was finally able to find out is that stromovka park was first conceived in the 13th century as a hunting grounds for bohemian kings. this house, which sits on the park's highest point, was a hunting lodge built in the 15th century. in the early 19th century, the lodge was rebuilt in the neo-gothic style. it now houses the newspaper and periodical archive of the national museum.
