History
The first of the 3 houses was founded by the court pâté maker Patrick
Urban of Czensaye in 1617. In 1622 Mr. Pettman bought the house, extended it and named it
"At Seven Candlesticks". Subsequently the house was heavily damaged during Saxon-Sweden campaign.
In 1667 under the circumstances in the Czech kingdom the house was bought by Jan Jindrich
Preuner, a court tailor and in 1690 acquired by well-known European painter with a strong
influence Vaclav Hranicky and his wife Constans. Constans finally committed the house to
her second younger husband Isaak Godini who was a well-known Italian painter of Jewish
origin (known as Godini). In 1802 the house received a new owner Josef Dvoran, a member
of the lower nobility, and his family. Later on the owners changed very often.
In 1815 a builder Zacharias Fiegert under the instructions of the Lauchtenschlager family
added new floors to the building that thus gained its present appearance. The interior
gained its present appearance after big fire in 1834.
The other house was founded in 1602 by its owner Jacob Teyfl (servant of court chamber)
who later sold it to one of the members of Kinsky family secret councilman Ferdinand Earl
Kinsky. He expanded trading activities in this area. Under the influence of economic
situation in the country the owners changed very often. In 1804 the family of the builder
Aloise Palliardi and his wife Magdalena acquired the building. Thanks its favourable
position near the Castle the building has been extended and its part has been preserved
up to the present.
