Depicted stone CoA of Zikmund Freisichselbst of Freidnpach decorates entrance portal of architectonically valuable Renaissance burgher house called "U Mramoru" ("At Marbles") in Kutná Hora.
Sigmund (Stejšek) Freisichselbst of Freidnpach was rich town nobilised (1570) burger and builder of the house in the second half of the 16th century.
"U Mramoru" house was constructed at the site of two older Gothic houses, acquired by the rich Kutná Hora burgher Sigmund Stejšek-Freisichselbst of Freidnpach in 1563-1576. A badly built Renaissance gable collapsed in 1590 and during subsequent repairs a unique portal with decorative tympanum and Corinthian columns was created. The facade is decorated by valuable frescoes by František Vysekal (1911) with three scenes from the life of Kutná Hora mayor Jan Šultys of Felsdorf, living in this house and executed on the Old Town Square in Prague in 1621. House is also interesting from heraldic point of view - it is decoradted by several coats of arms: portal by stone CoA of house builder Sigmund (Stejšek) Freisichsselbst of Freidnpach and facade by fresco CoAs of famous Kutná Hora citizens and house users: Jan Šultys of Felsdorf, Kourimský of Vecín and Mikuláš Dacický of Heslov.
