Description of the Building:
One-storey estate created by two annexes in an L-shape. It is built
into a hill from the river. It has smooth facades.
Architectural and Historical Development:
The ground floor by the river consists of three areas, which are
barrel vaulted with egg-shaped lunettes The rest of the layout is
oval barrel vaulted with quinary lunettes. By the street is a segment
barrel vaulted without sectors. On the first floor are flat
ceilings. The only central area by the river is vaulted similar to
the ground floor. The outer area by the street has plaster ceiling
and a cavernous field. Under the roof is a wooden loggia. The
oldest part of the building was created in late Gothic style.
Complicated development can be witnessed in an offset on the facade
by the river. The west wing is probably older, extended in
Classical style with the last area on the ground floor. At that
time first floor was added, and in added stages vaults were
created. Further adaptations took place in 1898, 1910, 1938 and
1962.
History of the House Residents:
The first known owner of the house in 1573 was a currier,
Bartoloměj Gojauer. Three years later, a tanner, Ondřej Prošek
inhabited this house. He is alleged to be the owner of the house
until 1606. After he died, his widow Ferena (Veronika) inhabited
the house. In the time frame of 1617- 1638, the house belonged to a
tanner, Ambrož Geissler, whose children occupied this house until
1665. During 1654 - 1665, Štefan Geissler conducted a colourman
trade in the house, he coloured leather to red. The next inhabitant
of the house was, until 1674, an another colourman, Matyáš Lederer.
He was replaced by a butcher, Ondřej Schmal, who resided in the
house until 1688. This year a black colourman, Lorenc Wenhart moved
into the house. His family occupied this house until at least the
1840's, and in this family inherited a colourman's trade. The
colourman workshop was removed in 1898. In 1929 a hewer was alleged
to be the owner of the house.
