Zátkův dům is located in the historic center of České Budějovice on Krajinská Street, where it stands as a dignified reminder of the city’s celebrated past and the distinguished Zátka family. The building sits on a relatively wide plot and contains a medieval core; its origins can be dated to the late 14th century, as it shows the main features of mature Gothic layout. The house underwent extensive changes, including Gothic phases and a Renaissance reconstruction in the second half of the 16th century.
Today’s hotel occupies two originally Gothic houses that once stood directly by the city walls next to the Prague Gate. This location had strategic importance for the defense of the city from the northern Prague side.
Inside the house a Renaissance fresco of an unknown martyr has been preserved, depicting God the Father and his son Jesus Christ beneath a canopy of clouds (circa 1550). It is one of the best-preserved frescoes of this type from the 16th century in České Budějovice.

In this house in 1847 JUDr. August Zátka was born — a prominent politician, lawyer, member of the Czech Provincial Assembly, and one of the main leaders of the Budějovice Czechs. The house bears his name thanks to his merits. Zátka helped found the city brewery, an enamelware factory, and a number of cultural and economic institutions. In 1906 he led the Czech inhabitants of Budějovice to their first victory over the Germans in the municipal elections — twenty thousand people marched past his windows with lanterns in celebration.
The Zátka family, however, left a much broader mark across the whole of South Bohemia. August’s father, Hynek Zátka, was a pioneer of modern entrepreneurship — he established a business in salt and flour products and in 1869 built the first steam-powered mill in South Bohemia. His sons Vlastimil and Dobroslav opened the first pasta factory in Central Europe here in 1884. Zátka pasta soon became a household name and was exported to many countries. It still operates today as part of Europasta SE.
Despite two world wars, the confiscation of property by the Nazis and subsequent nationalization by the communists, the Zátka name remained synonymous with enterprise, education and love of South Bohemia. Today our hotel carries on the legacy of this famous family.
