During the time of the Hussite upheaval it was burnt down, and then built by Jan Fuchs, a supplier of ostrich feathers, who had the front No.11 of his house decorated with ostriches. However, legend says that ring the rule of Charles IV a foreign delegation that was carrying three ostriches as a present for the Emperor spent a night in the house. These three ostriches became symbols of the house in the centuries that followed. It was the first coffee house in Bohemia, coffee brought by the Greek Deodastus Damascenus. The aroma of roasted coffee adds to the atmosphere of Prague's Malá Strana.

For centuries the House at the Three Ostriches - "U tri pstrosu" had a variety of owners, but never has changed its purpose. It always was and it'll always be a hospitable place for everyone who pays a visit. In the beginning of 20th century, the tavern was owned also by Mrs. Josefína MGllerova who was first letting out the house and later she sold it to Josef Dundra in 1921. He reconstructed it in 1938. At that time, precious frescoes were discovered and a colored renaissance wooden ceiling was uncovered. At the same time, stylish furniture was installed, as well as tiled hearth and lunettes featuring construction of Charles Bridge. Restoration work was done by architects Zazvorka a M. Skvor, under supervision of Prague's conservation authorities.

In 1949, the restaurant was put under state ownership and the owners of the house - still the Dundra family - were forced to hand over the house to the state in 1961.

After thirty-one years, this architectonic jewel was restituted to the family of Dundra. And nowadays again, this treasure serves to the visitors of Prague.
