When the lack of breweries became too great in the middle of the 16th century, Georg Kollnöder, the owner of the property known at the time as house no. 111, was ordered to repair the brewery under threat of punishment. Kollnöder refused, however, and over time the former brewery and inn became a barracks for marching troops, among other things. The Vergeiner brothers got to know the building as a post office - the Freistadt post office was housed in this building for almost 100 years before it found its new location *just* outside the old town centre in 1992.
