One of these is the Hauenschild’s Palace, the Renaissance home of a wealthy bourgeois family (it has been protected as a cultural monument since 1958). The palace has hosted notable people throughout history; in 1619 a Turkish envoy stayed there, and after the capture of the city in early 1742 King Frederick II of Prussia temporarily lived there.
During a trip to Moravia, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s family stayed in the house on 26th-28th October 1767. The young Mozart, eleven years old at the time, composed there despite his illness and completed his Symphony No. 6 in F Major. After he fell ill with smallpox, Mozart’s family moved into the chapter house at the invitation of the dean.
It now houses the premises, with a plaque at its entrance stating that Salzburg Kapellmeister Leopold Mozart, his wife, and children lived there, in what was then the "U černého orla" inn.
