Architecture of the house in the middle of the square of Telč
Accommodation Telč - home page
The house is situated on a relatively wide and long Gothic piece of land. It had existed already before 1530. From the Gothic house, both neighbourhood walls and the deep central wall were maintained after the Renaissance reconstruction. The arcade probably was finished in the middle of the 16th century. Further, the arching with traditional partly bent front arch over the gateway was built in the 16the century. In that time, the gateway was probably prolonged into the rear dodging part, the cellar was vaulted to the central pillar. It is not clear when the first floor was vaulted. There are not any records about the Baroque reconstruction. Besides that, the first floor arching is done in the same way that was used in the late 18th century as well as in the beginning of the 17th century. During the Baroque facade reconstruction around 1740, even the staircase was changed and the openings in the front wall were modified newly. In 1900 the new roof frame was bonded and the windows exchanged. The house restoration was done under the supervision by ing. architect Líbalová in 1948-1952.
The object belongs to the most valuable part of the historic burgher houses in the internal town not only for its magnificent Baroque facade, but especially for the preserved historic structure of the living and working rooms. There is a relatively high number of preserved valuable architectonic components and elements of the historical structural equipment.

- Baroque facade
