History

Pákey Lajos (1853-1921), the town's chief architect, had the villa built for himself. The building is interesting in that Pákey had the door and window frames and carvings of the old town houses, which were condemned to demolition, incorporated into the villa, which became a veritable museum of architecture. The sculptor Fadrusz János was a frequent visitor to the villa during the period when the King Matthias Monument was being made. In addition to him, many other important artists of the period also stayed here. It is currently home to the Institute of Psychology.
