History
Klapka György was born in this house on 6 April 1820. He was a Hungarian general of the War of Independence of 1848-49 and the captain of the fortress of Komárom, which was the last to surrender to the Austrian and Russian invasion forces. A commemorative plaque is on the wall of the house.
On 28 August 1823 the house became the property of Klapka József, father of Klapka György. Until that time, he and his first wife, Dávid Terézia, owned it jointly. Klapka József's first wife died in 1817. Klapka sold this house to Hertelendy Miksa in 1829. The Hertelendys built the courtyard parts; it remained in the Hertelendys' possession until 1859, when it passed into the possession of Pumrner Mátyás. In 1894, it was bought by Kossák József, one of the city's most famous photographers, who added a third floor to the two-storey building, and had the whole building remodelled in Renaissance style. The architect placed a plaque in the outer masonry of the 2nd floor, with the inscription: Built by Reiter Ede 1894.
