House at the Minute (Dum U Minuty) stands where Old Town Square (Staromestske Namesti) meets Little Square (Male Namesti).
Just beside the Old Town Hall Tower, which is composed of a cluster of Gothic style buildings, including the Astronomical Clock, the House at the Minute was built in 1610 and has a facade decorated with Renaissance style frescoes, depicting classical myths and allegories. Franz Kafka’s family lived on the second floor of this building from 1889 to 1896. The building also housed a pharmacy between 1712 and 1850, and was once a tabaconist’s shop. Today the building is the home of Restaurace U Minuty, a touristic restaurant where one can enjoy specialties of Czech cuisine.
