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.
