The Masaryk Square, surrounded by burgher houses with Renaissance and Baroque shields, is the natural center of the entire town's historical preserve. Both houses have the same number of houses - 13. The two houses on the square (No. 86 and 89) still have a Gothic foundation, the other medieval houses were destroyed by a fire in 1562. They were newly built in Renaissance style. Most homes have altered their appearance after the fires of 1723 and 1781.
