The Embassy of Denmark to the Czech Republic (Czech : Dánské velvyslanectví v Praze) is located on Maltézské Náměsti (Maltese Square), in Mala Strana, Prague.

The building housing the Embassy was nick-named as the 'Muscon House'. The building was remodelled by the Tyrolean architect Josef Jägr along Rococo lines in 1767, as a residence for Jägr himself. Jägr had previously worked on the building next door (the Turba Palace), which eventually became the Japanese embassy. [1] [2]
