  Fred and Ginger House

Emmaus Monastery, founded by Charles IV in 1347, rebuilt in neo-Gothic style in 1880.  That stricking, double-pointed roof was a 1967 addition, replacing a roof that was bombed out in World War II (just about the only damage sustained by Prague during the War).
  This highly eccentric building was designed by the famous architect Frank Gehry and is commonly known as the Fred and Ginger House.  Can you guess why?
