The facade of the house at 3 Herrengasse is worthy of close attention. It was painted by the artist Johann Mayer in 1742. The area of the frescoes is about 220 square meters. m. and is a picture of ancient Greek mythology. The lower zone depicts the God of wine, the God of artisans and the Goddess of the hearth. Above them are the God of the sun and the Gods of the underworld. Further in the hierarchy - the God of merchants and travelers, the God of War and the Goddess of Art. The god of medicine is depicted in the very top row.
The building is often called the Herzohof (Ducal Court), because it was here that the Habsburgs sat in the office - ruling, punishing and gracious until the beginning of the 16th century.
