Dancing House

New Town

It was built between 1992 and 1996 on a plot left empty after a mistaken US air raid in 1945. Czech architect Vlado Milunić designed it with Frank Gehry, and President Václav Havel, who lived next door, supported the project.

The two towers, one of glass that narrows like a waist and a straighter one of stone, recall a dancing couple, which is why they are called Fred and Ginger, after Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Today it is a hotel with an art gallery and, at the top, a bar with a terrace.
