Architectural and Historical Development:
The construction of this building took place after the original
gothic structure from the 14th century that was previously located
on this plot was demolished in 1892. This original Gothic structure
was a one-story construction with two wings. A second story was
added in the second half of the 18th century. The modern- day
building was equipped with an historic, Classical-style facade and
was set up in 1957-1962 as a pedestrian passageway and a public
lavatory. This was eliminated during reconstruction in
1996-1997.
History of the
House Residents:
In the last quarter of the 16th century the building belonged to
the Rosenberg chief cook, Kaspar Lehman, who was succeeded as owner
by Jan Schnabelreiter. From 1612, a cook named Simon Fetzer lived
here. His daughter, Katerina Fetzer, took the building over in
1654. The building belonged to Michal Hübl in the 1660s and later
to his wife Dorota. Cabinet maker Adam Hofman lived here from
1691-1723 and after him, the building was in the hands of the
Široký family until the 1790s.
