When the glassworks burned down in 1887, most of the buildings were abandoned. The Jablonec pharmacist Ulrich purchased several plots of land here in 1908 and built an unusual house for himself. He sold it a few years later, however, and the new owner took it apart for building materials to build a new house in Jablonec. The hiking club known as Friends of Nature (Přátelé přírody) bought the land and what remained of the house. They built the Friends of Nature House (Dům přátel přírody) in its place, today’s President’s House (Prezidentská chata).
House built by the Jablonec pharmacist Ulrich, called Hildenhof.

Members of the association Friends of Nature built a new building in the mountain meadow of the former “Kingdom” in 1928. The ruins of the König houses remained long after.
