History of the House Residents:
We learn about the existence of a town armoury which originated in the Rennaissance period only indirectly in the 17th century. In 1677 the Krumlov municipality bought a stable next to the armoury . There is a note from 1681 that Karel Prombhofer (glass-maker Karel Pramhofer?) sold the stable to a certain Hoch. We know from 1744 that town carriages and other things as well as artillery guns were stored in the armoury. In 1813 the armoury was used for placing horses, storing hay and straw, and other things which belonged to the artillery. There also used to be a granary for some time.
