We occasionally welcome small groups to Laichter House. We’d love to show you around the house, share its history and show you how the house lives today. Capacity is limited — leave your details and we’ll be in touch with you as soon as possible.
Unique architecture linked to communist censorship
Built in 1910, Laichter House was home to one of the most important Czech publishing houses of the 20th century. Today, it’s our living home and a cultural place — and from time to time we invite small groups to come by.

· YOU WILL SEE ·
ARCHITEKTURA
Kotěra’s early modernist architecture — façade, stencil paintings, custom details, and the grand staircase.
LITERATURA
The story of Laichter’s publishing house — Masaryk, communist censorship, and a library that survived in the house.
HISTORIE
A story of the Laichter family and their fortunes from Austria-Hungary, through the nazist and communist persecution, to the present day.
· TESTIMONIALS ·
A remarkable, interesting encounter with living history.
A place that stays with you long after you leave.
A unique experience and a powerful story of the house.
· IN THE PRESS ·
“The work of architect Jan Kotěra is not only an architectural monument today, but also the home of a family publishing house with a strong story.”
“A hidden gem in Vinohrady. The house on the edge of Riegrovy Sady has a beautiful interior.”
“The building’s appearance was ahead of its time by about twenty years.”
“The great-great-grandson of a famous publisher is looking for ways to carry on the legacy of his ancestors.”
“They started with Masaryk, ended because of the communists. Among the three hundred publishing houses that the law terminated was the one that bore the name of Jan Laichter.”
