Parkán No. 105
Description of the Building:
Two-storey building with facade covered with sgraffito blocks, and
German writing dated 1585. From the facade area, which in the
middle of the length jumps aside, a rizalit on an odd arcade stands
out on the ground and first floors. Another arcade is repeated in
the left part. Underneath the sgraffito is a preserved fragment of
an older decoration, a bossage with a red outline. In the sgraffito
a Rosenberg - Baden alliance emblem was made. Over it an unknown
emblem was painted. It continues toward the bottom part of a
painted basket with the date 1761 and initials F. H. The top part
is covered by a Madonna of Kájov with St. Florián and an another
saint. This painting overlaps another picture, most probably with
motive of horse. Along the rear facade is a corridor. Next to the
rear wing, tapering off from the facade, is a bow window on three
consoles.
Architectural and Historical Development:
The oldest part of the plaster with a bossage witnesses that the
middle part of the building was built before 1585, originally as
separate building. In 1585 the house was reconstructed into the
present appearance. A smaller adaptation on the facade took place
in 1761. In the 19th century a rear wing was added. The house was
repaired in 1993 - 1994.
Significant Architectural Features:
The entire building has a high architectural value. All of the
rooms are barrel vaulted with sectors. Only the middle part,
standing out on the first floor, has a vault without sectors on the
ground floor. The staircase hall and an area upstairs on the right
are arched with crest vaults.
History of the House Residents:
Even though the house was most likely built before 1585, the first
known the owner of the house comes from 1611, when Florián
Felizides lived there. After he died his Magdalena took care of the
house. In 1626 Jiří Mikeš, called Koráb, resided in the house.
After he died his widow Johana occupied the house. In the period of
1637 - 1648, the house belonged to a princely rustic, Jakub
Schwarz. In 1662 the house was occupied by a butcher, Václav
Klampfel. After he died his widow Voršila took care of the house.
Not much is known about the other owners of the house. In 1760 the
house was owned by František Häussler, who left his initials on the
facade. His family occupied the house until at least the
1840\'s.
