In 1552 the house came into the possession of the Barons von Hoffmann and became Freihaus. A "Freihaus" is understood to mean a noble seat within the city walls, which was freed from all city obligations.
Salome Alt von Alenau, the longtime lover of Salzburg Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau, bought the house in 1622 and bequeathed it to her son Viktor, who sold it to Mathias Eisl von Eiselsberg in 1668. Today the house is privately owned.
The house has an interesting late Gothic corner bay window from the mid-16th century. with richly decorated architectural parts. The beautiful Renaissance fresco paintings from the second half of the 16th century, which were uncovered during renovation work in 1956, are remarkable. Of these, the coat of arms paintings on the three sides of the corner bay are particularly impressive, where the three coats of arms from the relatives of the Hoffmann family are shown (Salm, Hoffmann von Grünbühel, Polheim).
