The house was built in the 16th century. In 1522, Francysk Skaryna set up a first printing house here (most likely in one of the inner sections of the building) and published The Little Travel Book, the first book in the territory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Later, the Mamonich printing house was established in the house in 1574, at first run by the owners of the house, Luka and Kuzma Mamonich, and from 1601 by Kuzma’s son Leon. The printing house received a privilege from Stefan Batory to print religious and legal literature in Old Slavonic, Greek and Russian languages as well as distribute it in the territory of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth without the customs duty. The Mamonich family printed books for the Orthodox Church and school as well as the legal publications of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania: the Statute of Lithuania, regulations of the Lithuanian Tribunal, orders of the rulers. The Mamonich typography ceased its operation in 1628. Afterwards, the cellars of the house and the ground floor were occupied by different stores and the upper floors consisted of rental flats. Parts of the inner sections were destroyed during the WWII. The house was reconstructed in 1973 and some of the Rennaisance-style open galleries, that once spanned around the yard and had been covered later, were uncovered. A sculpture The Annalist by Vaclovas Krutinis was erected in the yard in 1973 to commemorate the printing houses that had operated in this building. Restaurant Amatininkų Užeiga opened on its ground floor and is still operating to this day.
