History

On its site stood a Renaissance house with a stone-framed doorway dated 1571. At the beginning of the 20th century, it was bought and demolished by the linen merchant Püspöky Miklós. In its place he had the present building built, which bears the hallmarks of the Hungarian Art Nouveau of Lechner Ödön. Its architect is unknown. Some elements of the old house were incorporated into the new building.
