History

It was built in 1782 in late Baroque style. It had several famous guests, including Emperor Joseph II in 1782 and the Hungarian revolutionary poet Petőfi Sándor in 1845. It was owned by the father-in-law of Kazinczy Ferenc at the end of the 18th century. Kazinczy Ferenc, the greatest reformer of the Hungarian language, lived and worked here, and there is a plaque commemorating him on the building. After the fall of the Hungarian War of Independence in 1849, a prison was opened in the building. The Hungarian poet Tompa Mihály was imprisoned here between 1852 and 1853.
