Minikátor House

Minikátor House

Directions

The house, which held a first-class tavern licence, is first mentioned around 1620. Shortly after the Battle of White Mountain it was bought by the Italian Filip Minikátor of Lugano, long-serving burgomaster of Kroměříž. In 1666 his daughter Anna Alžběta married Pavel Josef Vejvanovský, court and field trumpeter of the bishop's court and composer.

Vejvanovský wrote more than 150 sacred and secular compositions that are still played at early-music concerts today. He lived in this house and died here in 1693. The house was last renovated in 1961.

The house is part of the Kroměříž Urban Heritage Reserve.
