This picturesque square is the heart of the town's historical center and offers a delightful blend of history, architecture, and charm.
Jurisics Square holds great historical significance, as it is named after Miklós Jurisics, the renowned defender of Kőszeg against the Turks in 1532. The square is part of the old town, which was strategically important due to its location on the border of Austria and the Habsburg Empire.
One of the highlights of Jurisics Square is the Heroes' Gate, a remnant of the old town defenses. This gate served as the main entrance to the castle-town and now stands as a memorial to the soldiers who fought against the Turks and in World War I. Take a moment to appreciate the plaques and pay homage to the brave souls who defended Kőszeg.
As you stroll through Jurisics Square, you'll be captivated by the architectural wonders that line its streets. The Sgraffito House, with its Renaissance facade, stands out as a true gem. This building showcases intricate designs and adds a touch of elegance to the square. Another notable structure is the Town Hall, the oldest town hall in Hungary, dating back to the 14th century. Its facade adorned with coat of arms adds to the historical charm of the square.
The former St Paul’s Cathedral choir school building on Carter Lane in the City of London is now a youth hostel. It was built in 1874 and its facade has sgraffito decoration and Latin inscriptions.
The Litomyšl Castle is an outstanding example of an arcaded Renaissance country residence, a type of structure first invented in Italy and then developed in the Czech Lands to create a mature form with special architectural value. Situated at an important communications junction on the main route between Bohemia and Moravia, in the Pardubice region, Litomyšl was a fortified centre on the hill where the castle now stands.
The work on the Renaissance building began in 1568 under the supervision of Jan Baptista Avostalis (Giovanni Battista Avostalli), who was soon joined by his brother Oldřich (Ulrico). Most of the work had been completed by 1580. The castle interior underwent alterations between 1792 and 1796, based on the designs of Jan Kryštof Habich, but he was careful to preserve the fine building’s Renaissance appearance with impressive gables.
The castle is a four-winged, three-storeyed structure with an asymmetrical disposition. The western wing is the largest, whereas the southern wing is a two-storeyed arcaded gallery, closing the second square courtyard (a feature that is unique to Litomyšl). The groin-vaulted arcading continues around the western and eastern sides of the courtyard. The south-eastern corner of the eastern wing contains the castle chapel. One of the most striking features in the interior of the castle consists in the fine neoclassical theatre from 1796-97 in the western wing. The original painted decoration of the auditorium, stage decorations and stage machinery have survived intact. The house has richly decorated interiors, basically Renaissance in form and with lavish late Baroque or neoclassical ornamentation in the form of elaborate plasterwork and wall and ceiling paintings.
The buildings associated with the castle were all built or rebuilt during the course of the modifications that the castle itself underwent over time, and this is reflected in their architectural styles. Among the ancillary buildings, the most interesting is the Brewery, the birthplace of Bedřich Smetana, one of the greatest Czech composers of all time. It lies to the south of the first courtyard. Originally constructed to complement the castle, with Renaissance sgraffito decoration, it was remodelled by the well-know
n architect František Maximilián Kaňka after the 1728 fire and received what is its present appearance. The ensemble also includes the former French formal garden with its saletta (pavilion) in the Baroque style and an 18th-century English-style park. (whc.unesco.org/en/list/901/)

Der "Dresdner Fürstenzug" besteht aus 23.000 Fliesen, die aus Meißener Porzellan gefertigt sind. Das Bildwerk ziert die Seitenwand des Stallhofs der Dresdner Residenz. Es ist 102 Meter lang und mehr als 10 Meter hoch. Es zeigt alle 35 Markgrafen, Herzöge, Kurfürsten und Könige, die zwischen 1127 und 1873 in Sachsen regierten und dem Fürstenhaus Wettin angehörten. Das Bild wurde von Wilhelm Walther entworfen und zunächst in Sgraffito-Technik ausgeführt. Es hielt allerdings nicht der Witterung stand und wurde deshalb zwischen 1904 und 1907 in einem neu entwickelten Verfahren als Porzellanmalerei erneuert. Es gilt als das größte Porzellanbild der Welt.
The “Dresden Princely Procession” consists of 23,000 tiles made from Meissen porcelain. The work adorns the side wall of the stable yard of the Dresden Residenz. It is 102 meters long and more than 10 meters high. You can see all 35 margraves, dukes, electors and kings who ruled in Saxony between 1127 and 1873 and belonged to the Princely House of Wettin. The picture was designed by Wilhelm Walther and initially executed using the sgraffito technique. However, it did not withstand the weather and was therefore renovated as porcelain painting between 1904 and 1907 using a newly developed process. It is considered the largest porcelain picture in the world.

The style of the building can be described as modernism with elements of Polish Art Déco style, although with its sophistication and black and white colors it also resembles the realizations of the Viennese Secession.
Before the WW2, due to the black and shiny terracotta façade, the house was quite commonly called the "Professor's Coffin"

At the time when the estate of Lipník was owned by the House of Bruntálský of Vrbno (i.e.16th century), the nobility used to leave their castles and had new mansion houses built in more accessible places. Hynek Bruntálský first considered building the new administrative centre of his domain. He bought up some suburban grounds in a close vicinity of Moravian Brethren´s Congragarion. As he died soon, its construction was realized by his son Jiří Bruntálský of Vrbno thereafter, in 1609.
Besides the castle in Lipník, the House of Bruntálský of Vrbno started significant rebuilding of the mansion houses in Bruntál and Branná at the turn of the 16th and 17th century. As these buildings share many formal features, it is likely to have been made by the same ring of Italian and Silesian craftsmen which were hired by the builders from Italian bricklayers and stonemasons domiciliated both in Lipník and at the ancestral buildings in Silesia. According to the traditional design can be judged that the castle was certainly designed by one of the Italian masonry masters, as evidenced by the type of vaults with lunettes decorated with characteristic ornamental stucco. The Italian descent of the mansion house in Lipník is evidenced by the construction of the castle stairs, tucked into the interior of the building. According to sources known until now, any of the Italian craftsmen can not be identified with the author of the Lipník mansion house. The title „Baumeister“ consistently used at the name of Pietro Valmandria therefore certainly also is not sufficient enough and we must be content with the fact that the authorship of the mansion house still remains open.
Further bulding activity of Jiří Bruntálský of Vrbno finished after his involvement in the insurrection of Czech & Moravian Estates when – after its defeat in the Battle of White Mountain in 1620 - he was arrested and died in the Spielberg dungeon. His wealth passed to cardinal Francis of Dietrichstein in 1622. The lordship authorities were transferred from Helfštýn Castle to the mansion house in 1626, the adjacent Moravian Brethrens´congregation was confiscated in 1622 was passed to the Piarist Order in 1634.
The Renaissance-style mansion house was built up as a two-storey building with two wings. Double staircase was placed next to the entrance and it was entered from a large hall with entrance to the courtyard. No later than at the end of the 17th century, the mansion house also got the second floor. The remnants of sgraffito decoration, even after reconstruction of the facade in 2003, were left on approval next to the entrance of the mansion house and St. Francis Seraphic´s Church.
Under the rule of the Lords of Dietrichstein who owned the mansion in the direct line until 1858, the mansion house maintained its Renaissance style appearance. A radical historizing Neo-classistic rebuild of the mansion house and adjacent outbuildings occurred only in the 60´s of the 19th century. The mansion house received realtively high quality Noe-classistic front facade. According to the historizing aestetic opinions also the two side wings were adapted.The rebuild was carried out by master-builder Joseph Zürk. Several plans from 1863 signed by him is preserved in the archives of the Lipník estate in Janovice.

We had a beautiful sunset in my hometown Schuders, a small village with just 30 people. The village is located higher up in the mountains of Graubünden, a canton in eastern Switzerland. From Wikipedia: Graubünden is known for its dramatic Alpine scenery and winter sports. St. Moritz, an upscale resort town and Winter Olympics host in 1928 and 1948, offers ski runs, an outdoor ice rink and ski jumping. Davos, home to the annual World Economic Forum, is also popular for skiing and hiking. The Engadin Valley has traditional whitewashed houses decorated with sgraffito plasterwork.

Son style architectural est le modernisme valencien.
Le projet est l'œuvre de l'architecte valencien Manuel Peris Ferrando et a été achevé en 1906. Il s'agit d'un bâtiment résidentiel construit sur la chapelle de San Valero à partir de 1719, où l'évêque Valero aurait été emprisonné avant d'être exilé. La construction s'inspire de la composition de la Maison Ciamberlani à Bruxelles de l'architecte belge Paul Hankar.
Il se compose d'un rez-de-chaussée et de quatre hauteurs. La partie la plus proéminente du bâtiment correspond à la façade qui donne sur la Plaza de la Almoina. Sa façade principale se distingue par sa riche ornementation végétale avec des sgraffites typiquement modernistes , sa couleur rouge caractéristique, les balcons, certains en pierre avec une ornementation abondante et d'autres en fer forgé. Il a deux petits points de vue au premier étage, à l'extrême gauche et à droite du bâtiment.
Its architectural style is Valencian modernism.
The project is the work of Valencian architect Manuel Peris Ferrando and was completed in 1906. It is a residential building built over the Chapel of San Valero from 1719, where Bishop Valero is believed to have been imprisoned before being exiled. The construction is inspired by the composition of the Maison Ciamberlani in Brussels by the Belgian architect Paul Hankar.
It consists of a ground floor and four heights. The most prominent part of the building corresponds to the facade that overlooks the Plaza de la Almoina. Its main facade stands out for its rich vegetal ornamentation with typical modernist sgraffito, its characteristic red color, the balconies, some in stone with abundant ornamentation and others in wrought iron. It has two small vantage points on the first floor, on the far left and right of the building.

Weitra is a small town in the "Waldviertel"-region of Lower Austria. The building in the center is the town hall. The tower on the left belongs to the castle. The house on the right side is famous for the beautiful sgraffito.
The Procession of Princes is located on the outside of the Stallhof. The 101-meter-long mural represents the history of the Wettins, Saxony’s ruling family, as a larger-than-life procession of riders.
The artwork by Wilhelm Walther was completed for the 800th anniversary of the princely House of Wettin between 1872 and 1876, as a sgraffito on the outside wall of the Langer Gang. Because of weather conditions, the work quickly began to fade, and was transferred to Meissen porcelain tiles between 1904 and 1907 to preserve it. More than 24,000 tiles were used to represent the 35 margraves, princes and kings as well as 59 scientists, artisans, craftsmen and farmers.
Schwarzenberský palác, Hradčanské nám. 2, Prague, Czech Republic
One of the most beautiful and well preserved Renaissance palaces in Prague is situated near Prague Castle on the Hradcanske square. The palace is easily recognizable by its rich black-and-white sgraffito decorations on its walls.
Schwarzenberg Palace stands on the area of three buildings that were destroyed by great fire in 1541. The ruins were bought by Jan Popel of Lobkowicz, one of the richest noblemen in Bohemia and later on Prague’s highest burgrave. The mail building, in T-shape, was built in 1567, the western wing was finished several years later. The walls of the palace enclose a square courtyard divided from the Hradcanske square by a wall and a grille gate.

Camprodon és el poble de muntanya més tusrístic de Catalunya gràcies a l’obra del Doctor Robert que va saber atraure la burgesia catalana. Hom diu “Camprodon, el Modernisme del Pirineu”.

Camprodon is the most tusristic mountain village in Catalonia thanks to the work of Doctor Robert who knew how to attract the Catalan bourgeoisie. It is called "Camprodon, the Modernism of the Pyrenees". In this sense, the house in the photo is not architecturally the jewel in the crown, but it is clearly Modernist as evidenced by this floral sgraffito.

Der Stallhof in Dresden gehört zum Baukomplex des Residenzschlosses und diente als Schauplatz für Ringstechen, Fuchsprellen und ab dem 18. Jahrhundert auch Märkten. Erbaut wurde der Stallhof ab 1586 für Kurfürst Christian I. als Vorhof zu seinem prachtvollen Kurfürstlichen Stallgebäude. Die Renaissance-Anlage stellt den ältesten in der originalen Ausgestaltung erhaltenen höfischen Ringstechplatz der Welt dar. Heute wird der Stallhof für kulturelle Veranstaltungen wie den mittelalterlichen Weihnachtsmarkt genutzt.. Die Luftangriffe auf Dresden im Februar 1945 beschädigten den Stallhof schwer. Mit dem Wiederaufbau wurde 1957 begonnen. Dabei wurden von 1972 bis 1979 auch die vor dem Krieg nicht mehr vorhandenen Bildwerke von Zacharias Wehme und Heinrich Göding wieder an die Außenfassade des „Langen Ganges“ angebracht. Die Instandsetzung und Restaurierung des Bauwerks war im Äußeren 1984 weitgehend abgeschlossen. Seitdem dauern weitere Baumaßnahmen an. Der „Lange Gang“ verbindet den Georgenbau mit dem Stallgebäude (heute Johanneum) und war einst der Zuschauerraum für die höfischen Turniere und Hetzjagden. Innen befindet sich im Erdgeschoss eine offene Bogenhalle mit einer Arkadenreihe aus 20 toskanischen Säulen. Oberhalb der Säulen sind die Wappen der Lande unter wettinischer Herrschaft zu sehen. Äußerlich ist der Gang mit einer Sgraffito-Malerei verziert. In der Mitte ist eine Sonnenuhr angebracht. Diese entstand im Jahr 1568 und wurde 1976 durch Gunter Herrmann nach historischem Vorbild restauriert. Bei der Uhr handelt es sich um eine Vertikaluhr mit römischen Zahlen, Angaben zur ungefähren Uhrzeit, Monatsangaben und den Tierkreiszeichen.

The Stable Courtyard (Stallhof) in Dresden is part of the Residential Palace complex and served as a venue for tilting at the ring tournaments, fox hunting and, from the 18th century onwards, markets. Construction of the Stable Courtyard began in 1586 for Elector Christian I as a forecourt to his magnificent electoral stables. The Renaissance complex is the oldest courtly ring ring tilting arena in the world that has been preserved in its original form. Today, the Stable Courtyard is used for cultural events such as the medieval Christmas market. The air raids on Dresden in February 1945 severely damaged the Stable Courtyard. Reconstruction began in 1957. Between 1972 and 1979, the sculptures by Zacharias Wehme and Heinrich Göding, which had been lost before the war, were reattached to the exterior façade of the ‘Long Corridor’. The repair and restoration of the exterior of the building was largely completed in 1984. Further construction work has been ongoing since then. The ‘Long Corridor’ connects the George Wing with the stable building (now the Johanneum) and was once the auditorium for court tournaments and hunts. Inside, on the ground floor, there is an open arched hall with a row of arcades consisting of 20 Tuscan columns. Above the columns are the coats of arms of the lands under Wettin rule. The exterior of the corridor is decorated with sgraffito painting. A sundial is located in the centre. It was created in 1568 and restored in 1976 by Gunter Herrmann based on the historical model. The clock is a vertical clock with Roman numerals, approximate time, month and zodiac signs.

"Graffiti" (usually both singular and plural) and the rare singular form "graffito" are from the Italian word graffiato ("scratched"). The term "graffiti" is used in art history for works of art produced by scratching a design into a surface. A related term is "sgraffito", which involves scratching through one layer of pigment to reveal another beneath it. This technique was primarily used by potters who would glaze their wares and then scratch a design into it. In ancient times graffiti were carved on walls with a sharp object, although sometimes chalk or coal were used. The word originates from Greek γράφειν—graphein—meaning "to write".

Thanks to @gherm and @mluisa for their explanation!
Sgraffito ("scratched", plural Scraffiti and often also written Scraffito) is a technique either of wall decor, produced by applying layers of plaster tinted in contrasting colors to a moistened surface, or in ceramics, by applying to an unfired ceramic body two successive layers of contrasting slip, and then in either case scratching so as to produce an outline drawing. A combed wall surface is produced by dragging a comblike tool over a prepared surface, producing stripes or waves.
La maison sise avenue Général Eisenhower 24 fut érigée en 1912 par l'architecte J. Coppieters et récompensée en 1913 d'une médaille d'argent par la ville de Schaerbeek dans le cadre du concours de façades. La façade avant de l'immeuble, reprise dans l'inventaire du patrimoine architectural, a été restaurée avec soin en 2017-2018. Elle avait en effet subi d'importantes modifications au cours du temps, causant la disparition de sa polychromie et son sgraffite d'origine. A l'initiative de la propriétaire, l’état d’origine de la façade a en grande partie été restitué: les couches de peinture postérieures ont été décapées de manière à rendre à nouveau visible l’alternance des briques rouges et pierres blanches. Le sgraffite a été reconstitué sur la base de documents historiques. Dans le cadre de la restauration du petit patrimoine, cette rénovation a été subventionnée par la Région. Cette subvention a soutenu la remise en l'état de certains éléments d'origine, comme les balcons en bois et leurs toits en ardoise, les éléments décoratifs en pierre blanche et la clôture du jardinet à rue. Aujourd'hui, la façade pittoresque est redevenue une véritable attraction de l'avenue Eisenhower !
The house located on Avenue Général Eisenhower 24 was built in 1912 by the architect J. Coppieters and awarded a silver medal in 1913 by the city of Schaerbeek as part of the facade competition. The front facade of the building, included in the architectural heritage inventory, was carefully restored in 2017-2018. It had in fact undergone significant modifications over time, causing the disappearance of its polychromy and its original sgraffito. At the initiative of the owner, the original state of the facade was largely restored: the subsequent layers of paint were stripped away so as to make the alternation of red bricks and white stones visible again. The sgraffito was reconstructed on the basis of historical documents. As part of the restoration of small heritage, this renovation was subsidized by the Region. This grant supported the restoration of certain original elements, such as the wooden balconies and their slate roofs, the decorative white stone elements and the street garden fence. Today, the picturesque facade has once again become a real attraction on Eisenhower Avenue!
