Description of the Building:
Two-storey building with a smooth facade which in its lower part
turns toward the street Radniční, and culminated by an attic with
two terracotta vases. On the facade is a painted clock dial,
restored in 1987. The two wing layout on the ground floor is
completely barrel vaulted. The upstairs is vaulted, and the
staircase hall is in the middle. The rest of the rooms have flat
ceilings.
Architectural and Historical Development:
The house is of Gothic origin, documented from the beginning of the
16th century. The facade on the street Radniční was adapted
Classically and restored in 1987.
Development of front side facade:
While in the main facade facing Radniční Street, considerably
adapted around the year 1844 after the Inner Gate of the Inner Town
had been demolished, no remarkable discoveries from earlier periods
were found, the exceptional finding situation appeared in the side
front.In the Middle Ages the building was built up to the
first-floor level with the use of a rough plaster layer with smooth
plaster frames all over the window holes.The adaptation of the
front part of the side facade and the application of an all-surface
grey-coloured coat of paint including the new window holes framing
with black lines were done in the earlier periods.In the early
Renaissance period the window holes framing was scraped in a new
plaster layer, in the late Renaissance period the front was
decorated with the rectangular-shaped rustic-work and cut out
corners in an illusion way.

The scraped window shams were onamented with plant motives. In the
Baroque period only some coloured adaptations were done on the
plaster layer: white-and-green, white-and-ochre, white-and-red.In
the Classicism period the building was covered with an all-surface
green-coloured coat of paint, linked up to some main front changes,
later the pink-coloured paint was applied. The development of
plaster phases in the main front was fixed by a restorer and
replastered. Both facades were covered with the lime paint in two
green-coloured hues. We do not know the analogy of the graffito
scheme with the Baroque style decoration in the Czech
surroundings.
Significant Architectural Features:
2 terracotta vases on the attic.
History of the House Residents:
The first known owner of the house was Markéta Křížková, who was in
