During our years in Prague (1994-2007),

we lived in the courtyard of the Strahov Monastery (Strahovske nadvori 9). You may remember the little pink house immediately to the left of the entrance portal. St. Roch's church is to the right. The brewpub was built sometime after 2000--can't remember the year.

St. Roch is the patron saint of the Plague. Centuries after it was built to commemorate the end of the Plague, the famous Czech artist, Alfons Mucha, was married in the church. Built in 1458 to be the sexton's house, it houses a small art gallery today. The abbatial church, Church of the Assumption, is where Mozart played the organ during his years in Prague. During our time, the organist was the director of the sacred music department at Charles University. Our time up there was a magical period in our lives.
