The building was constructed after the fire of 1861 according to the designs of the local builder Novotný. On the top of this two-storey corner building with a neo-Renaissance façade there is a high skylight made of bricks. The original look of the façade has been preserved only in a part of the eastern side of the building. The rooms on the first floor still catch our eye by their rich stucco and painted decorations, and the wooden coffered ceilings. The building was build by order of Alois Haase, the son of the founder of a large flaxen spinning mill in Trutnov, at that time ranking among the largest of its kind in Europe, whose owner was one of the richest industrialists in textile industry. After the war, this magnificent mansion was used as an administrative building, later it housed a library. Nowadays it houses a primary school of art.
