Klášter Čtrnácti sv. Pomocníků (Kapucínský) S Kostelem

Former Capuchin monastery - originally a burgher's house, which together with the monastery church forms the end of a block of houses on the eastern side of the square at the point where Erbenova Street ends. The construction of these originally Gothic houses was included in the archaeological survey from 1971 to the second half of the 14th century. We learn about it from the sources at the beginning of the 16th century, when it was owned by a kind of Michal pernikář. Later it was named Špačkovský, Cyprianovský and Střelcovský after the owners of the house. On July 8, 1742, this house was bought by Ignatius Zebisch (Czebiss, Čebiš). His widow Terezie Barbora Čebišová handed him over to the Capuchins on July 31, 1749, who were introduced here on September 20, 1750. In 1785 under Joseph II. it was decided to abolish the Capuchin monastery in Mělník, but at the urging of the city council, the decision to abolish the monastery was eventually revoked and the Capuchins could continue to operate in the city. In 1950, the Mělník Capuchin monastery became the property of the state. The art branch of the Folk Art School in Mělník and in 1999 the Mělník District Museum found refuge in its premises. During its existence, the building went through a number of construction stages from Gothic to Baroque, which gave it its predominant form today.
