Hotel History

The building plots on which the Dum u Jeziska and other buildings stand-on originated from the apportionment of local gardens that took place towards the end of the sixteenth century under the supervision of the notable builder Oldrich Avostalis.

Based on the wishes of the Lesser Town settlement representatives, he also drafted the regulation of two streets, today's Bretislavova and Vlasska streets. He also proposed the construction of eighteen new buildings here. Towards the end of his life in 1592 - 1593, he led the reconstruction of the Augustinian monastery by the Church of St. Thomas in Lesser Town. He was buried here when he died on May 10th, 1597.

The oldest preserved part of the Dum u Jeziska in Lesser Town is the rear part of the structure facing the court-yard, built after 1591. The lower part of the original tower structure, the perimeter masonry of which is supported by steel bars, could date from the fortification of the Lesser Town in 1257, the oldest Premyslid fortification.

This tower, which later underwent a Baroque adaptation, is decorated between the second-floor windows with a very well preserved polychrome relief sculpture of Our Lady of Loretto. Some sources hypothesize and many times even state that the author of the sculpture is the carver and painter Ludvik Kohl.
