Lonely Planet review

Prague is infamous for defenestrations, where hapless political opponents have been hurtled from windows. One occurred here. In 1948 Jan Masaryk - son of first Czechoslovak president Tomáš Masaryk and the only non-communist in the post-war government - 'fell' to his death from his top-floor bathroom. Used as SS headquarters during WWII, the 17th-century building now houses the foreign ministry.
