Hotel Villa Conti (Cesky Krumlov / Krumau, Czech Republic)

About Villa Conti

Villa Contri is located n Cesky Krumau. Description of the Building: Two story building with a stucco, ribbon-shaped decoration around a window, sgraffito facade and trapezoid half-gable, covered with a double-pitched shingle roof. Architectural and Historical Development: The front walls of the houses No. 24 and No. 25 run uninterrupted by joints so it is clear that these two houses formed one older building or were constructed next to older standing walls. The interior disposition of the house is from the first third of the seventeenth century. During Classicism, there was a small shop in the stairway hall. The rear of the ground floor was modified after 1850. Significant Architectural Features: Especially the vaulted space is remarkable. There are two rooms on the ground floor with barrel vaults with sectors - the room on the right is the stairway hall. The rear of the house has segmental vaults that form an oval straight arch. Near the street on the second story, there is a narrow space vaulted with sectors in the vault axis and plain belts that create geometrical discs. The central narrow wing has a similar vault but without the discs.
