history

The oldest parts of the building are the late Gothic vaulted cellars , which survived the city fire of 1503. The house itself and the rear wing were rebuilt in the Renaissance style. After the city fire on April 13, 1832, the building was increased and underwent a comprehensive redesign with a classical facade. In the 1990s it was restored and a parapet with two turrets was added.

From 1865 to 1897 the house served as the city's German-speaking secondary school , following a foundation by the widow Barbara Wimbersky . Gustav Adolf Lindner was director there in 1871 and 1872 . A plaque commemorates him.

description

Facade (detail)

The representative town house is a three-story plastered building with five window axes on a large property. The windows have unequal heights and are laid out asymmetrically and added later on on the top floor. The gate entrance is a round arch and Radabweisern in sandstone executed. The two windows above the driveway have old frames. The only base cornice on the third floor is offset in height above it. The further structure of the facade, the corner cuboids in a tooth-cut sequence and some window frames are black and white in the local sgraffito .

The parapet consists of two flanking turrets and six semicircular arches. It was added in the 1990s after the facade was restored in the Renaissance style. An underlying niche for a saint figure is bricked up. The two lower floors are vaulted. Fragments of ceiling and wall paintings are preserved on the ground floor. At the rear of the building there is a courtyard, part of which is built on with another wing of the house.

The house is an important architectural and urban element in the historical development of Prachatice. The reconstructed street facade with its Renaissance fragments is also of great value. The development of the entire property was placed under protection on May 3, 1958 as a cultural monument and on October 1, 1981 included in the area of ​​the urban monument reserve in the city center of Prachatice.
