This is the description of the royal residence in the Chronicle of Wschowa Bernardynów. And it's not about the castle or the town hall. Well, the kings from the Saxon times, headed by Augustus the Strong, resided in tenement houses on the western side of the market square. These charming 17th-century buildings can still be admired today.

The facades were crowned with gables with a wealth of motifs. We have horns of plenty, mascarons, and there are also winged angels. The tenement houses were also decorated with Latin sayings and beautiful sandstone portals. Two of them have survived to this day.

Especially the kings of the Wettin dynasty were often in this place. For the needs of the king and his entourage, eight tenement houses were occupied, between which passages were made. August Mocny also commissioned the reconstruction of the town hall for the needs of the senate meetings held here. The king was also heavily involved in urban policy, which was also done later by other Wettins.
