The pride of town Slavonice, complex of the Renaissance burgher houses, you can find in both main town's squares - the depicted cluster of five houses (N° 460-464) is located in SW part of the Lower "Peace" Square (Dolní "Mírové" námestí).
The preserved complex of Renaissance burgher houses concentrated round both squares at Slavonice has become the basis of their exceptional architectural, artistic and historical value. Their imposing architecture, sophisticated handicraft design and artistic decoration demonstrate the welfare of the town and its burghers in the 15th and 16th centuries. The complex at Slavonice belongs to the most numerous in the Czech Republic. Houses have preserved on their original narrow Gothic frontage, with the external architectural expression corresponding to the visual concept of the Renaissance period, mainly from the time after the fire in the town in 1530.
Depicted cluster of five late-Gothic & Renaissance houses exceeds by letter-motif sgraffiti facades and attics gables with false battlements.
