Český Krumlov

Frescoes & Emblems

more than a year ago
As you walk through the winding streets and alleys that comprise Český Krumlov, you will probably notice repeated elements on the buildings... the five petalled rose and, usually above the front door, depictions of the Virgin Mary, painted on each home to safeguard the house and its inhabitants. The private building with the KB ATM next to the Egon Schiele museum on Široká ul. has a tongue in cheek Virgin Mary as it's depiction. The empty red house waiting renovation was home to an alchymist around 1550 in the time of William of Rosenberg. The five petalled rose was on the Rosenberg coat of arms, the town's founding family (as such) until the early 17th century.
