Mühlmann House

Mühlmann House

Directions

For a long time the house bore the name of the Mühlmann family of maltsters, documented in Kroměříž from 1822. Josef Mühlmann, who leased the town brewery, took part in the Czech national revival movement in Kroměříž.

On the first floor, facing the courtyard, there was a hall where travelling theatre companies, especially Štandera's, performed as early as the 1850s. In 1865 the Kroměříž Amateur Theatre Society staged its first performance here, Jan Neruda's play Ženich z hladu. Plays were performed here until the Nadsklepí theatre was completed in 1868–1870. Later the hall was also home to the first cinema in Kroměříž.

In the first half of the 20th century the house was the seat of the Milíč progressive students' society, which rehearsed its theatre productions here. During the Second World War the Kroměříž Friends of Art Club found refuge here and held exhibitions. The building is part of the Kroměříž Urban Heritage Reserve.
