Discover more about Dačického house

The Dačický House, located on Komenského náměstí in Kutná Hora, is more than just a building; it's an interactive gateway to understanding the town's rich history and its place within the UNESCO World Heritage network. Named after Mikuláš Dačický of Heslov, a chronicler born in the house in 1555, the building itself has a rich history, with its core dating back to pre-Hussite times. The house was significantly renovated after 1500 for Philip Villanuova, a bishop of the Utraquist Church. Throughout the centuries, it underwent several reconstructions, serving various purposes, including a restaurant and apartments, before being recognized for its historical and cultural significance. Today, the Dačický House stands as a beautifully preserved late-Gothic structure with a High-Baroque facade, offering visitors a unique blend of historical architecture and modern interactive exhibits. The museum's interactive exhibits cater to all ages, with touch screens, animated films, and video mapping that bring the history of Kutná Hora and its UNESCO monuments to life. Visitors can explore the Bishop's Chapel, discover Gothic portals, and even descend into the basement for a hands-on experience with interactive floor projections. The Dačický House not only showcases the town's history but also explains why Kutná Hora earned its place among the world's most significant monuments. Currently, visitors can explore the exhibition "Kutná Hora – a town enchanted with silver". The exhibition presents the cathedral as an ensemble work, a living organism.
