History

From an urban planning point of view, it is an important location in the oldest part of the city. The building itself represents an important monument in terms of evidence of the development of a Renaissance townhouse. It was created by a large reconstruction of the older farm wing of the house after 1600 by the merchant Hans Wolf from Bratislava. It is characterised by its representativeness, which is represented by a large arched loggia with original stucco decoration. After the fire in 1747, the house was rebuilt in a major style, which can also include the construction of the courtyard wing. This Baroque reconstruction unified the building layout. At the end of the 19th century. Probably because of the statics – the movement of the front façade, a stone sloping retaining wall was built up to the height of the cordon cornice.

The house includes a medieval stone entrance portal, arches with stucco elements in the dufart, a Renaissance pavilion on stone brackets, an arcade of 4 bays with Tuscan columns supporting the vaulting of a deep, open loggia with a moulded lunette vault over an 8 x 5.5 m plan decorated with stucco figures. The house has undergone a complete renovation in the period 2011 – 2016.
