The western part of the Peace Square in Litomerice is decorated with a small baroque building, made in red and white colors. It was originally a Gothic burgher house, which was the residence of the builder and one of the richest burghers, Julia Broji. The authorship of the Baroque reconstruction is attributed to his son Octavius, which was carried out in the years 1720-1730. According to some sources, Broggio built a house for the family of the famous writer Vojtech (Adalbert) Kislink. As I said, the building stands in the middle of the western façade of Peace Square, creating a significant quarry in it after the demolition of the neighboring house in the early 20th century. The façade of this building is dominated by tall pilasters and other rich stucco decorations, culminating in a spiral pediment. If you look closely, you can see the image of five female faces on the facade. Hence the name - House of Five Virgins. The arcade was renovated in the early 1950s, and the facade was last renovated in the 1990s. Today, the ground floor houses commercial premises, and a two-level apartment is located above, which is connected by a spiral steel staircase.
