Latrán No. 87
Description of the Building:
One story building with a plain facade standing on sloping terrain
with three-fold windows that open inside. In the back, there is a
wooden gallery with a glass front. The double-pitched roof is
parallel with the street and there is a stone ball at the top of
the left gable. There is a terrace in the rear right part of the
house.
Architectural and Historical Development:
The house was not standing in 1654, so it must have been built
during Baroque. Its existence is recorded in 1826. The house was
modernized and the rear wing added in 1931.
History of the House Residents:
The first known owner of the house was Michal Kaintz in 1694. Five
years later, Magldalena Kaintzová lived in the house, but her
married name at that time was Schafferová. Tomáš Schaffer owned the
house from 1720 to 1775. The Kitzhofer family lived here from 1775
until at least the 1840s.
