Description of the Building:
Three story house with a divided front and two volute gables.
Architectural and Historical Development:
There might have been a Gothic house (before 1500) adjacent to the
Latrán gate on this plot, because the ground floor vaulting dates
back to that period. During Renaissance, two houses were joined
together and the seventeenth century gables were preserved. The
front is subdivided by windows with stucco decoration around them.
The house has an asymmetrical layout, are there are rooms with
smooth-surfaced ceilings and rooms with vaults on the first
floor.
Significant Architectural Features:
Two seventeenth century volute gables.

house until 1645. At that time, another maltsman Lorenc Procházka
