Invalidovna

Invalidovna (French "hôtel des invalides") is a building in Karlín, a district of Prague, Czech Republic.

Invalidovna was built in 1731–1737 as a dormitory for war invalids (veterans) by Kilian Ignac Dientzenhofer.

Its model was Les Invalides, a building for veterans inaugurated in Paris in 1679.

In 1935, all inhabitants moved to another "invalidovna", at Hořice, and the building was used by the Czech army.

[5] In 2023, Robert Eggers chose Invalidovna as one of the filming locations for his adaptation of Nosferatu, a modern interpretation of the classic vampire tale.
