Information

Golden Lane

Golden Lane is a street built in the 16th century, to house Rudolf II's castle guards. It consists of small houses, painted in bright colours.

Many of the houses are now souvenir shops, and there is a museum of medieval armoury within the former 14th-century fortification accessible from Golden Lane. House number 22 used to belong to the sister of writer Franz Kafka, who used this house to write for approximately two years between 1916 and 1917. Jaroslav Seifert, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1984 and who was one of the signatories of Charter 77, lived there in 1929 ( read more )
