Puvodní malou zbrojnici na tomto míste nechal zrídit v roce 1616 král Matyáš (její pozustatky jsou pravdepodobne v jihozápadním nároží, kde jsou výrazne silnejší zdi než ve zbytku objektu). V roce 1653 zapocala její zásadní prestavbe a rozšírení. Stavbu pravdepodobne vedl Gion Decapaoli. Puvodne mela jen 3 krídla – krídlo u Vltavy zustalo nedokonceno. V roce 1767 byla zbrojnice zrušena, o 13 let pozdeji byla odkoupena obcí a prestavena na donucovací pracovnu. Tehdy získala dnešní dispozici i vzhled. V roce 1833 koupil budovu reznický cech, který zde zrídil jatka. Dnes restaurace.
=========================
Small armory was founded here in 1616 by King Matthias (the original building formed probably the southwest corner of the new one, where the walls are significantly stronger than in the rest of the building). In 1653 began its major reconstruction and expansion. Initially, only 3 wings were build - wing by the river remained unfinished. In 1767, armory was repealed and 13 years later was converted into a municipal law enforcement office. In 1833 the building was bought butcher's guild, who established a slaughterhouse here.
