DESCRIPTION
The Na Příkopě 969/33 building was built for the then Czech Eskompt Bank in 1930-1937 according to the project of architects Karel Jaray, Rudolf Hildebrant, Alexander Neumann, Ernest von Gotthilf and Josef Sakař, and since 1958 it is registered as a protected monument at the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic. From its construction until recently, it served its original purpose as a banking house.
