The street entrance of the tenement in Školská Street #16 in Prague, Municipal District 1, in which Jaroslav Hašek was born and grew up. The owner's request for a permit
to demolish the building due to its advanced state of deterioriation was apparently rejected for the time being. (More photographs and Czech text
.)

In 1921 Jaroslav Hašek moved to Lipnice nad Sázavou.

The
place was run-down after forty years of socialist economy under the Communist
government. Luckily, Jaroslav Hašek's grandson Richard and his wife Zdena
bought the place after the metamorphosis of the system in 1989, renovated it and
run it as private enterprise. Thanks!
