Dům čp. 412 House
Měšťanský dům čp. 412 in Javorník is a testament to the town's rich history, showcasing centuries of architectural evolution and cultural significance. Situated on ulice Míru between houses numbered 411 and 413, this Empire-style row house is not only a cultural monument but also an integral part of Javorník’s heritage zone in the Jeseník district. First documented before 1373 as part of the medieval urban structure, its enduring presence highlights resilience and transformation through various historical periods.
The origins of Měšťanský dům čp. 412 trace back to when Javorník was an established settlement within the Holy Roman Empire's Bohemian lands. Its initial mention before 1373 places it firmly in the medieval era, a time marked by significant political and religious upheaval, including the Hussite Wars of the early 15th century. These events impacted Javorník, with the town being captured by the Hussites in 1428, causing damage to many structures, including this house.
Architecturally, Měšťanský dům čp. 412 is a remarkable example of Empire style, characterized by its brick construction and rectangular layout measuring 11 by 22 meters. The building features a gable façade with segmental arches and a hipped roof supported by a hambálkový krov system. Inside, the house boasts barrel vaults and four casement windows adorned with suprafenestrae, enhancing its aesthetic appeal. These elements reflect architectural trends of the late 19th century when significant reconstruction transformed it into its current form.
Ownership and use of the building have varied over time, reflecting broader social changes in Javorník. In 1864, the town purchased the house, converting it into a municipal hospital, marking a new chapter in its history. By 1945, it housed an establishment owned by Josef Weiser, and later served as a music school during the 1970s. These shifts illustrate how the building adapted to meet community needs over time.
Throughout its existence, Měšťanský dům čp. 412 has withstood numerous challenges, including fires in 1576 and 1603, and floods that necessitated repeated restorations. The most recent significant restoration occurred between 1994 and 1995, focusing on the façade and structural integrity to preserve its historical value. These efforts underscore the community's commitment to maintaining this cultural landmark.
Today, Měšťanský dům čp. 412 remains a vital part of Javorník’s heritage zone, offering visitors a glimpse into the town’s medieval past and architectural evolution. Its preservation allows for an appreciation of both its historical significance and aesthetic beauty. Visitors are encouraged to explore this monument, which stands as a testament to resilience and cultural continuity in the heart of Javorník.

The townhouse number 412 stands on Míru Street in Javorník in the Jesenicko region, between houses number 411 and 413. It is a cultural monument and is part of the Javorník municipal heritage zone.
Its origins reach far back into the Middle Ages. It is first mentioned in 1373 as part of the town's urban development, which means it must have been built even earlier. Over the centuries it has been repeatedly damaged by various disasters. It suffered in 1428 when Javorník was captured by the Hussites. It was rebuilt after fires in 1576 and 1603 and also after a major fire in 1825, when 104 houses burned down in the town. It was also damaged by floods.
The appearance it has today was acquired during a reconstruction in the second quarter of the 19th century. Later it was further modified. In 1864 the town bought it and set up a municipal hospital there. In 1945 it housed a shop belonging to Josef Weiser and in the 1970s it was home to a music school. In 1994 and 1995 the façade underwent renovation and the house's structural integrity was secured.
It is an Empire-style row building made of bricks. It is one storey high, has a basement, and has a rectangular floor plan measuring 11 by 22 metres. The street façade has four window axes and is articulated by a cord moulding and a crown moulding. The entrance is on the ground floor, in the second axis from the left, and inside it connects to a space with a barrel vault. In the basement there are two vaulted cellars and each of them has a well.
On the floor there are four coffered windows, above which are decorative window lintels. The façade culminates in a gable whose sides are formed by simple volute wings. The gable is crowned with a triangular tympanum with a surrounding cornice. In the gable there are two windows and above them a smaller arched window. The house is covered with a saddle roof with a timber truss. In 2008 an apartment was built into the attic space.
