Pictoresque house "At the Golden Lion" (Dum "U Zlatého lva"), in the core Gothic structure from the 14th century, serves after Baroque reshaping in 1773 as Roman catholic Strahov parish office (Strahovská fara).
This Gothic townhouse, recorded as a possesion of adjacent Strahov Premonstrate Abbey from 1382, was rebuilt in Renaissance period (15th century) and then finally in Baroque style. Since 1773 the Strahov parish was located there, later it became an inn with stables. Today it again serves to the original parish purpose. Its façade is decorated by Strahov Abbey CoA and by a sign, which gave to it the name: fresco of Our Lady with infant Jesus above the sitting golden lion.
