Archaeological research carried out during renovation of the Old Theatre has uncovered traces of several half-timbered buildings dated to the 14th–15th centuries and of four townhouses dated to the 16th–17th centuries. The stratigraphic and spatial relationships have helped to distinguish six basic phases of building development. They have also provided a basis to determine the original layout of three plots demarcated after the city charter which were parceled out and aggregated in the 16th–17th centuries and then merged into one before construction of the Old Theatre in the 19th century.
