Dům Daliborka House

House No 57 belongs to the Lounian town monument zone and is listed in the list of cultural monuments from 3 May 1958. A building-historical survey from 1996, carried out by Jiří Škabrada and Martin Ebel, revealed the complex building genesis of this building.

The oldest preserved parts of the house come from late Gothic times. In the cellars under the eastern part, a number of portals of late Gothic curvature survived, one of which is originally supposed to be Gothic with probably secondary installation. The main break in the history of the house brought about the events of 1517. At that time, Louny suffered a catastrophic fire that engulfed a large part of the inner city, including the parish church. Real estate owners were forced into expensive reconstructions.

A grafted living room in its central space is key to understanding the construction. It has a floor plan of 7,2 × 7,5 metres and a height of 457 centimetres and consists of fir balls with diameters of 25 to 32 centimetres. The Dendrochronological analysis of Josef Kyncla from 1998 brought an accurate dating: the fir trees were cut down in 1515. As the wood was left dry for one to three years before use, the cabin was built shortly after the fire 1517. At the time of its creation, its front wall also had a grafting structure in view of the square. A similar grafted hall from the beginning of the 16th century is also located in the house No. 241 / 12a in Litoměřice, called the Gothic twin.

The radical transformation of the house occurred at the beginning of the 17th century, when it affected both the exterior appearance and the interior. On the ground floor there was a large, high hall with a beam ceiling. Kyncl determined, on the basis of wood analysis, that its building elements originated shortly after 1607. It was during this period that the house received its current characteristic appearance with a bay risalite, which passes through the front facade throughout the height and carries a wooden balcony.

The facade is divided by two shields with columns and between empty nobodies and windows. Shields end with broken frontons, among which is a small lantern, from which comes a vertical pole with a crescent and a star - the symbols of Louns. On the ground floor there is a rustling around the semi-circular portal and windows, which also frames both corners of the house and risalites. The copper gargoyle on the facade is a new replica from the 20th century.

Behind the transformation of the house in the 17th century was Strachota Kocurovský called Horror (1556-1627), which bought it in 1605 from the heirs of Jiří Krček for 650 Míšenská kicks. Kokurovský was an influential townsman; In 1598-1599 he held the functions of the city's speedster and from 1593 to death he sat on the city council alternately as an elder and joined. He was the one who financed the second major remodel and imprinted the famesade its present form.

The house kept its Renaissance character until the beginning of the 21st century, among other things because it was not damaged by a large fire, which in September 1849 seized the neighboring Šatlavý (today's Hilbert) street. The first known owner was Bartoš Meziříčský (1509-1531), which after the fire of 1517 carried out extensive reconstruction of the house including the construction of the Rouben hall. In the early 20th century, Karl Liehne (1905) and others owned it.
