In the very heart of old Prague, in the Malá Strana district, stands a mysterious house that immediately captures attention with its unusual decorations. Above its entrance hangs a painting of two suns, which gave the house its name — the House of the Two Suns. Behind its walls lies a story full of mysteries, enigmas, and old legends whispered by the city’s inhabitants for generations.

Long ago, when Prague was still a city full of alchemists, artists, and philosophers, this house was home to the famous Czech writer and poet Jan Neruda. He was a man who saw the world through different eyes, found beauty in everyday life, and whose heart was open to all the stories the city had to offer. The House of the Two Suns became not only his home but also a place where his stories and poems came to life.

It is said that Jan Neruda was not the only resident of this mysterious house. The House of the Two Suns was once a refuge for two small children, siblings who lived there with their aunt after the death of their parents. The children were full of imagination and often played in the courtyard behind the house. Every evening, when the sun set and the house was enveloped in silence, mysterious lights began to appear on the walls of their rooms. These were two suns that moved along the walls, dancing in the evening light.

The children believed these suns were magical and a sign from their deceased parents, who were protecting them and guiding their steps. One evening, they decided to look closer to see where the mysterious lights were coming from. They climbed the old wooden stairs to the attic of the house, where they discovered their father’s old diary. In the diary were stories about the mysterious light that had appeared in the house for many generations, and it said the house was connected to an ancient alchemical secret.

According to the legend told in the diary, the house was once the home of a famous alchemist who sought the secret of immortality. The alchemist allegedly discovered a way to create two eternal suns, which were meant to illuminate his soul and protect the house from evil. When the alchemist died, his secret remained hidden in the house, and the two suns appeared on the walls whenever protection was needed.

Since then, people in Malá Strana have been talking about the two suns that appear on the walls of the house at every sunset, reminding the city’s inhabitants of the old stories and secrets that were never meant to be forgotten. The House of the Two Suns remains a silent witness to ancient times, where history mingles with legends, and every wall whispers stories to those willing to listen.

And when you walk through Malá Strana in the evening and see the mysterious lights dancing on the walls of the house, remember the old stories of alchemists, poets, and the two magical suns that perhaps still watch over this enchanted place.
