History

The house was built in the 18th century and has Empire style features. The side wall has an old Gothic window. From 1843, the upstairs was used by the Polgári Társalkodó, which was one of the social centes of the town. In the 1850s, a café was set up on the ground floor under the name of Korona. During the renovation in 1971, hidden under the floor were found coins - gold ducats and silver coins - dating from the reign of King Matthias of Hungary and Ferdinand II, Holy-Roman Emperor and Kong of Hungary.
