Not accessible to the public
Mlýnská 27, Jablonec nad Nisou
One of the oldest late Baroque houses in Jablonec nad Nisou, according to the entry in the land register from 1793 it belonged to Joseph Hemrich, a farmer and the Upper Jablonec bailiff (1778). Fifteen years later (1793) it was sold to Josef Dresler, a manufacturer and exporter of glassware. At that time the interior consisted of a living room, a distilling room, a pantry, a cellar and a stable.
In the early 19th century, the house became the first pharmacy in Jablonec, operated by Vincent Emanuel Schneider from Chomutov. In 1828 it was taken over by August Krell, also from Chomutov, who moved the business to what is now Mírové náměstí. Even in the late 19th century, the building was still called “the old pharmacy”, although it had already been an inn for many years. After building alterations in 1913, it became the Belveder restaurant with an adjacent garden.
In 1989 the property was acquired by the Museum of Glass and Jewellery, and 5 years later renovations began. A modern depository was established, where items from the jewellery sub-collections were stored, the ground floor was retained for exhibition purposes and from 1998 it served as the Belveder Gallery.
As of 2015, the building is no longer open to the public and serves solely as a depository for the museum's collections.
