History

The house was built in the 15th century. It was first a butchery, and thus took the name of the House of the Butchers. Later, the upstairs was occupird by furriers, then was used as a granary and for a short time as a performance space. During the restoration work in 1787, the building was decorated with the coat of arms of the town.
