The Štajnhaus has not been a project, but rather a process. This house with a Renaissance core stands right at the foot of the chateau hill, in the former Jewish quarter of Mikulov. Throughout its existence it has suffered a great many scars, and it has gone through tens of reconstructions and operations. All of these have altered the house beyond recognition, yet it has maintained its almost medieval picturesqueness.
