In the second half of the 19th century the house was owned by the Archdiocese of Olomouc . In one part of the house, the archbishopric had set up a hostel for pilgrims run by friars. From 1997 to 2000 the listed building was renovated in accordance with the existing situation and then parified and the units sold individually. The complex has ten staircases and is now home to galleries , shops, restaurants, offices, apartments and flats.
