Prague Castle - Falconer’s House (Dům sokolníka)

This small, unassuming, one-storey building with a wooden gallery facing the courtyard, located across from the Prague Castle Riding Hall, is home to an exhibition about the life of its first resident, the 17th-century falconer who cared for both hunting birds and songbirds.
