Telčský dům, house in Vnitřní Město, Czech Republic

The Telčský dům is an old residential building on Zacharias of Hradec Square in the center of Telč. It contains Romanesque cellar elements and painted wooden beams from earlier periods that were discovered and restored during renovation work.

The house is believed to have formed part of the ancestral estate of the lords of Hradec, whose coat of arms still adorns its facade. Over the centuries it housed a glassworks, a ceramics workshop, a butcher's shop, a button workshop and even a brewery. By the second half of the 20th century it had fallen into disrepair.

The house is named after the town of Telč and displays a coat of arms connected to the local nobility on its facade. Inside, the rooms reflect the different crafts and trades that took place there over the centuries, from glassmaking to beer brewing.

The building operates as a private museum with a permanent exhibition on local stories and legends. Visitors should keep in mind that this is a functioning historical building and visits should follow the museum's operating hours.

Sculptor Anna Hanzlová (1943–2005) bought the run-down house in 1995 and had it restored; it was then named Telčský dům. In 2003 the city of Telč gave her its award for the best-reconstructed historic building.
