Few would have guessed that you were sitting in a former printing house. Apart from the name, the printing presses in the windows might give a clue. The Batovec Printing House was a household name in the 1920s – its customers included the King of Sweden and Thomas G. Masaryk. The company was founded by the Imperial Councillor František Bohuslav Batovec as early as 1873. Successful business was ruined by the fateful year 1948, when it was nationalised. However, the strong legacy of the Batovec family lives on in this place to this day.
