Marianske Lazne, Picture 5, Karlovarske kraj, Bohemia (CZ), 2011
I wasn't clear to me whether this house is now being used as a hotel, offices, or both, but it is notable not only for its attractive architecture, but for a plaque (just visible on the lower right part of the building) commemorating the time Sigmund Freud spent here. Although people usually think of Freud as an Austrian or a German, he was actually a German-speaking Moravian, making him an Austrian by the standards of his day due to the Hapsburg Empire. Due to his Czech ties, Marianske Lazne isn't the only place in the Czech Republic where you can find references to him. Mozart is another common figure to see in Czech history and commemorated on buildings, as he was in the same situation, having been born in Salzburg, Austria in the time of the Hapsburgs, and having travelled throughout the empire while on tour, but that's a story for another place.
