History of the House Residents:
At the beginning of the sixteenth century, the house was owned by a
man named Sýkora, about whom we do not have much information. From
the 1540s, Valentin Rosenpergar or Rosenbergar lived in the house.
During the 1570s, Jan Mattioli, an herb grower, beekeeper and
Rosenberg doctor, moved in. He appears at the court of Wilhelm von
Rosenberg for the first time in 1578. The doctor probably
borrowed the surname of a famous colleague, the Italian doctor and
botanist Pierandreo Mattioli, who served as the personal doctor of
the Archduke Ferdinand and the Emperor Maxmilian II. Jan Mattioli
died during January of 1591 and was buried in the crypt of the
Minorite
Monastery in Český Krumlov. Kateřina Mattioli inherited the
house, sold it in 1607 but lived there until she died. The new
owner, the castle baker Jiří Krompota or Krumpota had to mortgage
the house because of debts and his son Petr could return in 1638.
Quarry-man Jiří Planzker lived here from 1664 to 1684, followed by
cloth-maker Matyáš Pamhauer. Cloth-maker Ignác Planzkr lived in his
father\'s house until 1747. After him, many people of many trades
lived here.
