Biography

Josef Zobel, born in 1746, designed edifices that married functional rigor with the measured elegance of late Baroque architecture, shaping Prague’s civic and religious fabric.

He oversaw projects that balanced classical proportions with growing institutional needs, mentoring younger draftsmen and leaving structures admired for their restraint before being laid to rest at Malostranský hřbitov.
