Abstract
The building of the former roundhouse, Vězeňská ulice 189, is one of the few preserved historical landmarks in the medieval
heart of the town. Emergency archaeological research was performed because of the planned
conversion of the building to an archaeological museum and proved the medieval (most likely
the end of 13th or the beginning of the 14th century) origin of the oldest layers of the terrain. The
medieval horizons cohere with remains of the masonry in rooms 2 and 3. Construction time of the
oldest preserved section – basement of the west part of the building – was regrettably not found
out by archaeological exploration and even by previous construction-history and archaeological
research. The oldest account mentioning the round-house in Česká Lípa comes from 1578.
Building served as a jail till 1935.
