Das mittelalterliche Haus ist in den Steuerbüchern des 14. Jahrhunderts zweigeteilt mit zwei verschiedenen Besitzern aufgeführt. Noch 1826 wird es auf einem plan mit zwei Hauseingängen gegen den Neumarkt dargestellt.

Sein heutiges aussehen mit der grosszügigen regelmässigen Befensterung erhielt das Haus wohl 1832 bei einem Umbau mit weitgehender Erneuerung der Fassaden.

Under Denkmalschutz seit 1991

(English translation:)
