The two-storey Renaissance house, built in 1572, was the property of Jakub Menšík z Menštejna, a lawyer and writer from Prague, who was a native of Prague. He was the royal procurator (1601-1603) and burgrave of Prague Castle (1603-1614). In 1580 the house became the property of the city, and in the years 1625-1627 it was extensively rebuilt. The west side is decorated with sgraffito from 1573, depicting biblical, battle and hunting scenes, as well as allegories. The paintings, remarkably the only ones in the city with German inscriptions, were only discovered in 1889. The stone portal is decorated with the Schwarzenberg coat of arms. Today the house is connected to the neighboring National House (Narodní dům) to form one building.
