The Rumpal House in Prachatice (German Prachatitz ), a town in the Jihočeský kraj (South Bohemia) region of the Czech Republic , was built in the 16th century. The building on the east side of the market square, which formerly served as a residential building and city brewery, has been a protected cultural monument since May 3, 1958.

history

In 1539, Peter V von Rosenberg approved the construction of a new block of houses on the eastern surface of the originally much larger town square. The newly built houses there, which are now between Velký náměstí (Great Square), Kostelní náměstí (Church Square), Křišťanova and Poštovní (Post Street), are among the oldest stone buildings in the city.

The late Gothic house, originally built around 1544, was converted into a Renaissance building between 1560 and 1580 , the facade and arcade of which have been preserved to this day.

The Rumpal family, who had become prosperous through the salt trade on the Goldener Steig , leased the house in 1663 to the municipality, who set up the municipal brewery and later a malt house there in 1671 .

After the great city fire of April 13, 1832, in which 137 town houses were damaged (80 of them destroyed), the upper floor was rebuilt and the Renaissance roof replaced with a gable roof.

In numerous restorations, most recently in 2009, the classical facade was renewed with paintings in the style of the Renaissance.

description

On the ground floor there is an existing three arcades portico , which is continued by the left-most neighboring houses with two-arkadigen arbors. The entire front of the house is covered with beautiful sgraffito paintings, the spandrels of the arcade arches are decorated with figural ornaments.

use

Today the building is used as a commercial building.
