History
It is said that Heltai Gáspár lived in this house and also ran his printing press here. Beyond the gate you can see 4 memorial plaques. One of them says that Bocskai István, Prince of Transylvania, was born here on 1 January 1557. The other tells that all the important events in the life of Bocatius János took place on a Friday. The Heltai family probably rented the upstairs of the house to the town, as it the Habsburg supporter aristocrat Bocskai György was imprisoned here. The house and the printing press were inherited by Heltai Gáspár Jr., and later his sister, Eppel János's wife. Hence the name of the house Eppel House. After the Heltai family, it was owned by the Teleki and later the Bethlen family.
