House ref. no. 135 (21 nam. Republiky) has a beautiful Renaissance portal from the late 16th century, Louis-Seize modifications from the early 19th century.

Jan Fencl, known as Mantuan, lived here - he was a Plzen book-publisher who published "Franta's Lawbook" ("Frantova prava") in Nuremberg in 1518, an effective caricature of the libertine life of the times.
