            Kinský Palace (Czech: Palác Kinských) is a former palace, now an art museum, located on Old Town Square in the Old Town area of Prague, Czech Republic. The palace's name refers to its former ownership by the Kinský noble family.

The Stone Bell House is located at the Old Town Square in Prague. It is located next to the Kinský Palace, on the corner of Old Town Square and Týnská street.
Today's house is the rest of the larger residence from before the 14th century and probably served as a temporary dwelling of Eliška Přemyslovna and Jan Lucemburský after their arrival in Prague. The Residence reached as far as today's Black Elephant House at the corner of Týnská Street and Týnská Street and partly also at the Golz-Kinský Palace.

The house was rebuilt in 15. – 19. century. During these years, the Gothic appearance of the palace virtually disappeared. Extensive regotization took place between 1975 and 1987. In this reconstruction, the Gothic facade was uncovered and restored instead of the existing Baroque one. Also, a reinforced concrete podsebití was added to the roof, but the house did not originally have one. [1] Since 1988, the City Gallery Prague has been in use.

The house today is a remainder of a larger residence from the mid-14th century. It most likely served as a temporary residence for Elizabeth of Bohemia and John of Bohemia after their move to Prague.

John of Bohemia (Luxembourgish: Jang de Blannen; German: Johann der Blinde von Luxemburg; Czech: Jan Lucemburský; 10 August 1296 – 26 August 1346) was the Count of Luxembourg from 1313 and King of Bohemia from 1310 and titular King of Poland.[2] He was the eldest son of the Holy Roman Emperor Henry VII and his wife Margaret of Brabant. He is well known for having died while fighting in the Battle of Crécy at age 50, after having been blind for a decade.

The house was rebuilt during the 15th-19th century. During these years, the Gothic image of the palace was practically lost. Between 1975-1987 an extensive Gothic revival of the house was carried out. During this renovation, the Gothic facade was uncovered and restored, instead of the existing Baroque one. A reinforced concrete parapet was also added to the roof, which the house previously lacked. Since 1988 it is under administration of the National Gallery in Prague.
