Art Atelier Fiala is headquartered in the Chvalská Fortress in Prague 9 – Horní Počernice, which was first mentioned in 1070. Over the centuries, it has been rebuilt and modified to its present Baroque form. Considering the historical elements, our building is the most valuable building in terms of monument protection in the whole area of the Chval Castle.
