AB Mansion house no. 128 near the embankment of the former Ohrazenice Pond in Ratiborske Hory (Tabor District) was built by the mining councillor Jan Schindler around 1780. The two-storeyed building with two halls on the first floor was not intended for living, but rather as a garden house to receive guests and to serve other purposes. Schindler lived in a nearby palace together with the rest of the Schwarzenberg office workers. After 1804, the house received another wing with a hall - perhaps to turn an earlier house mentioned in 1826 into a residence? The house was never rebuilt or modernised; only its original layout and a large number of authentic constructions and details has survived - original windows, doors, wooden floors (precursors of parquet floors - a type that has not been researched anywhere else). In 2018, a new owner bought the house in serious disrepair and has been reconstructing it ever since with extraordinary efforts and a sense of historic authenticity.
