This Gothic townhouse called also Strahovská fara (Strahov parish office), 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 and also target of this waymark - fresco of Our Lady.
