The Michal House ( Michalův dům in Czech ) in Telč (German Teltsch ), a Czech town in the Okres Jihlava of the Vysočina region , was built before 1530. The house on the market square at Náměstí Zachariáše z Hradce No. 61 is a protected cultural monument.

The building was named after the owner Michal, a wealthy baker, councilor and mayor of the city, who bought the house in 1533. In 1555 he had the facade redesigned in the Renaissance style with sgraffiti . Eleven prophets from the Old Testament are depicted in the gable . The coats of arms of Zacharias von Neuhaus and his wives can be seen in the spandrels of the arbor .

The two-story house with a Venetian- style arched gable and portico has a Gothic vaulted cellar . The arch of the arbor is supported by octagonal pillars, one of which ends with the baker's mark, a pretzel .
