Jan Hus, Czech theologian and early church reformer, was burned at the stake on July 6, 1415, at the Council of Konstanz. Today, a modest but very nice museum in the German city preserves his memory—despite lingering doubts about whether he actually stayed there. The story of Hus remains deeply symbolic, and the museum explores the enduring power of that symbolism, especially for Czech visitors.

Nestled on a cobbled street near Lake Constance (Bodensee), the Hus House in the German city of Konstanz is more than a museum.
