There are many hypotheses as to why the house is called Faustian. According to legend, it was in this house that the scientist and sorcerer Johann Faust signed his contract, hence Mephistopheles sent the doctor to hell and did so with such force that he punched a hole in the ceiling. Walking through the picturesque Charles Square, it is difficult not to pay attention to the pink house, stylized in the Baroque style. This building, built in 1617, is called the House of Faust, which is why it primarily attracts lovers of mysticism.→
