Faust House
A mysterious house in Prague steeped in dark legends, alchemy, and tales of a scholar who sold his soul to the Devil.
Located in Prague’s Charles Square, the Faust House is one of the city’s most enigmatic buildings, forever linked to the legend of Doctor Faust, the scholar who supposedly made a pact with the Devil. While the real historical figure never lived here, the house has long been associated with occult practices, alchemy, and unexplained disappearances.
Throughout history, the house has been home to eccentric alchemists and scholars, including Edward Kelley, the infamous occultist who worked with John Dee in the court of Emperor Rudolf II. The legends surrounding the house speak of secret tunnels, vanishing tenants, and a blackened hole in the ceiling—allegedly left behind when the Devil himself dragged Faust to Hell.
Today, the Faust House stands as a haunted relic of Prague’s dark past, its history blending fact and fiction in a chilling way that has fascinated visitors for centuries.
