The House of the Good Shepherd is a stunning Rococo-style townhouse located in the Old Town of Bratislava, Slovakia, built between 1760 and 1765. This narrow building, designed by master-mason Matej Hollrigl, features a unique trapezium shape and retains much of its original charm despite the surrounding area's changes over the years. Today, it houses the Museum of Clocks, showcasing a remarkable collection of antique timepieces from the 17th to early 20th centuries, with a focus on local craftsmanship. The ground floor also includes a pub, making it a lively spot for visitors. The building is named after a statue of Christ, the Good Shepherd, adorning its corner, and is regarded as one of the most beautiful Rococo buildings in Central Europe, making it a must-visit for tourists and researchers alike.
