Architecture of the house under the castle in Mikulov
This two-storeyed house represents an above-average work of the very late classicism from mid to third quarter of 19th century. Typologically it is a small-town terraced house without any rooms for trade craft or agriculture.
The house builder was a member of the Jewish Community in Mikulov. The residential object is preserved in the original mass appearance, including parallel saddle roof combined with the pult of the additional but also classicistic court flanker. The main house frontage is preserved in the late classicistic axial arrangement.
In the interior house equipment, the following elements can be considered for valuable ones: natural stone flooring on the broad step, oak staircase to the first floor including iron handrail of circle cross-section, classicistic adaptation of internal entrances, glassed-in veranda made in combination of diagonal web with wooden frame performed on a high level joinery at that time. This veranda is closed by safety roll-top made from corrugated iron. In the garden part of the house, a 10 m long arched cellar made from bricks and Mušlov limestone was discovered. A historically valuable element in the garden is the old Jewish stone well that will be subject of further investigation with the aim to discover its original beauty.
