History

The house was built in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. In the 18th century, it became the property of the Mauksch family of pharmacists from Szepesség. In 1766, Mauksch Tóbiás had it repaired and opened a public pharmacy. At the beginning of the 19th century it became the property of the Szláby family, and from 1851, by inheritance, of the Hintz family. At the end of the 19th century, the facade was remodelled. Until its nationalisation in 1949, it housed the St George's Pharmacy. In 1954, a pharmacy museum was opened in the building from the collection of Orient Gyula, a renowned professor of medicine of the early 20th century.
