Curved wall of old building

Before the entrance to the Tyn Church there is building of next epoch - Renaissance, 15 century. In this period came up the stucco (on the gothic period was builded from the stons only). This is building of former architectural school. Pay attention to the left corner of this house - it is curved. There is the one version why. In old Europe a lot of sickness were transferred by water. Therefore people became afraid of water and stopped to drink it. They began to drink wine and beer. And to being drank, built the houses, so walls often became curved.
