Olomouc is unique by its church' district with 14 palaces of canons of the Metropolitan Chapter of St. Wenceslas - depicted and waymarked Baroque "Residentia Schroffeliana" is one of them.
Residence house number 526, "Residentia Schroffeliana" in Wurmova Street 13, has a Renaissance and Gothic core with an oriel chapel in the rear wing. The front and side wing, with their Early Baroque stucco ceilings, were built around 1680 under the canon Ferdinand, Baron Schroffel von Schroffenheim. In the second third of the 18th century, some interiors were adapted on the floor with rococo plaster ceilings, which were dated (in the front wing), with the coat of arms of Canon Jan Josef Podstatský. On the ceiling of the hall with a monogram of Canon Francis Gregory Gianni gilded medallions with allegories of the cardinal virtues are modelled. According to the plaque in the passage, the rebuilding of the residence started on 24th April 1679.
