Good day! You stand in front of the townhouse in Banská Štiavnica, a historical monument of this town.
The facade of the house is rich in details, from ornamental stucco niche to plasticly decorated pillars. The burgher house was exhibited in the Middle Ages and its typical position in the urban context evolved until the late Renaissance and Baroque.
Note details such as stucco niches on the facade side or plasticly decorated sawmills that give the house a burgher's appearance.
The lady has her secrets. We know that the burgher's house was a place where important events took place and where city citizens met.
