Built between 1839 and 1840, it is a protected cultural monument under the protection of the National Heritage Institute (NKP) with registration number 32176 / 7-92. Its location near the former Jewish, later Ferdinand Gate, highlights its historical and cultural value.
The house was built in the style of Classicism, which manifests itself in symmetrical forms and simplicity of decorative elements. It was created during the period of intensive urban development of Brno, when the city was transformed from a fortified castle to a modern metropolis.
