History

Jan Langhans was an internationally-active photographer and successful businessman who bought the house at No. 37 Vodickova Street in 1880. His photographic studio was one of the largest in Bohemia and Moravia and it was he who co-created Czech portrait photography. Hundreds of thousands of unknown and very famous people alike sat before the cameras of three generations of Langhans in the decades before nationalisation in 1948.

The building was returned to the family in the spring of 1991 as part of restitution measures and studies into the reconstruction of the building got underway immediately afterwards. The great-granddaughter of the founder of the enterprise then had the building reconstructed in line with the designs of a team of architects, with Ladislav Labus (brother of very famous comic and film actor Jiri Labus) at the helm, and the ambitious project began to take shape. Indeed the Langhans building acts a as kind of bridge between the historic links to old Prague and the modern trends of contemporary architecture.
