Trtina House

The house on Riegrovo náměstí once held first-class rights to serve and brew beer. It is named after the burgher Jan Trtina, who bought it in 1665. In 1715 his family sold the house to the town, which set up quarters for soldiers here – for a long time they were known as the Trtina barracks.

In the 19th century the house was adapted for use as a school. A narrow lane once ran alongside it to the town walls on Hrubý Val. In the second half of the 19th century a street was cut through here; it bears the name of the national revivalist Pavel Josef Šafařík.

The house is part of the Kroměříž urban heritage reservation.

Based on a text by Jindřich Spáčil for the memorial plaques of Kroměříž houses.
