There was probably a house in this place already in 1450 but we know that in the 1650 the house was bought by Johan Eberhard Schantz, King Karl X secretary. He is the one that put the initials J.E.S and M.S on top of the portal facing the main square. J.E.S stands for Johan Eberhard Schantz and M.S stands for Maria Seyfridz, his wife who also owns the Seyfridz House next door.
During the rebuilt in 1650 the 92 white stones are put in place in the wall facing the main square.
Between November 7 - 10:th 1520, the Danish union King Kristian kills 92 persons of the Swedish nobility and citizens of Stockholm at Stortorget (the main square). 82 is beheaded and 10 is hanged. This massmurder is called The Stockholm Blodbath.

In 1520 all prominent Swedish nobelmen was summond to Stockholm to participate in the coronation of the King Kristian II. He was danish and elected king of the Nordic Union (Sweden, Denmark and Norway). After the coronation there was a large party to celebrate the coronation but on the third day the king has the gates locked and none is allowed to leave the city. The Bishop Erik Trolle now accuse some of the Swedish nobelmen of doings a couple of years earlier and the King size the opportunit to get rid of the opposition against him i Sweden.
