Lannerův dům Building

Lannerův dům, located in Telč-Old Town, is a historical object with rich past and cultural significance. Originally he served as a dispatcher of the Jesuit College, then turned into a textile factory and now hosts a territorial professional workplace of the National Heritage Institute for Vysočina Region. Its architectural development from Baroque to classical forms, together with many changes of owners and use, makes it an interesting monument for historians and tourists.

The creation of Lanner's house is closely linked to Telč's history. The oldest mention of the place dates back to the 17th century, when in 1651 Františka Slavatová z Chlumu a Košumberka bought a large garden farm yard. Three years later, she donated this property to the Jesuit Order, which established its dispatcher in Telč. At that time, two separate buildings were built, the north and west wing of today's building. After the abolition of the Jesuit Order in 1773, this court was fallow and perished.

At the beginning of the 19th century, the property was transferred to the hands of the Jewish merchant Jakub Lang, who founded the textile manufacture. Lang has connected existing buildings and has an eastern wing attached to them, thus creating the area of the so-called honor court. The classical reconstruction of the building was unified in its appearance and served simultaneously for production and residential purposes.

In the second half of the 19th century, for the possession of the Lanner family, the surroundings of the house were landscaped. After a quick rotation of several owners, the house and property became the property of Telč in 1929. The city had the building modified later for social housing. In 2004, Lannerův dům was acquired by the Ministry of Culture, which led to its overall renewal and subsequent establishment of the NPÚ Záštěr zárodní úspoděch Úřičina pro Zraj Vysočina.

Architecturally, the Lannerův dům is a large storey object with three wings that define a spacious courtyard resembling an honorary castle yard or a noble palace. Originally there were two separate buildings which Jakub Lang joined together and rebuilt into a classical style. This gradual development from baroque to classical forms reflects changes in its use.

Today Lannerův dům serves as a place for cultural events and professional seminars. In 2015 there was a Methodic Centre for Education, which focuses on the creation of educational programmes and training in historical care. Its aim is to open and mediate historical values to a wide range of public, making Lannerův dům not only a historical monument, but also a living centre of cultural activity.

Lannerův dům is therefore an important monument not only for its architecture and rich history, but also for its current function as a place of cultural meeting. Its presence in the Old Town of Telč provides another layer of historical depth and culture, making it a necessary destination for every traveler and local population.
