“A malt house, a jewelry factory, a printing press… what stories these walls could tell!” U Machťů has seen it all. This unassuming building on Celetná Street, part of Prague’s Royal Road, holds centuries of history within its stones. U Machťů, also known as U Panny Marie, isn’t just any building. Its roots trace back to the 15th century. Imagine Prague bustling with activity, and this very spot a vital hub as a malt house and brewery. U Machťů quenched the thirst of Prague, supplying beer throughout the city. The building has worn many names over the years. From Dům U supa, Dům U Kindle, Dům U Kaplířů, Dům U Kondlů, and Dům U zlatého supa, it finally became Pivovar U Supa in 2016. And the history doesn’t stop with brewing! In 1804, a jewelry factory glittered within these walls, followed by the renowned Mercy printing house and the goldsmith Gindl in 1861. Look closely as you enter U Machťů. The late-Gothic Renaissance archways offer a silent testament to this rich and varied past. Located on Celetná Street, one of Old Town’s oldest and busiest thoroughfares, U Machťů stands proudly along the Royal Road, a path walked by kings and queens. Just imagine the coronation processions passing by this very spot. U Machťů whispers stories of beer, jewels, and the printed word. A hidden gem on a royal road, it’s a testament to Prague’s enduring spirit and a must-see for those who seek the stories behind the stones.
