Diocese Gallery and Museum

It is an attached, late-Gothic house on early-Gothic foundations with the original profiled windows. A small coat of arms with the date 1513 is carved above the central window on the first floor. The former arcade holds a partially preserved late-Gothic portal with the design of dry bough. In the 16th century, a Renaissance house with a wooden arcade balony was added in the courtyard, next to the former 14th-century wall. In 1986 architect Jarmila Antošová supervised the restoration of the house for the Naïve Art collection. The original roof truss was restored by J. Lipš from Litom??ice and J. Šindelá? from Úšt?k. The Litom??ice Diocese Gallery and Museum was opened on 28 September, 1995. The Diocese Museum was founded in Litom??ice already in 1894 as the first of its kind in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The museum was shut down by the Nazis in 1941. The museum collection includes, for example, unique Romanesque sculptures from the St. Peter and Paul's Church in Žitenice; "Madonna in an Enclosed Garden" by Master of the Tiburtine Sibyl; the famous painting "St. Anthony the Hermit" by Lucas Cranach the Elder from 1510-20; masterpieces of the Czech Baroque by Karel Škréta or Anton Kern; or works by Jan Steen, Jacobs Willemsz de Wet, Flemish 17th-century painters, et al. The collection is curated by PhDr. Ladislav Kesner.
