History
The original building was added a second storey in the early 19th century. It gained its current form after the fire of 1876. The house was named after its former owner, the art patron Wesselényi Farkas. It was in this house that Beethoven's Waldstein Sonata was first performed on Hungarian soil in 1814, and he took part in its performance. For many years, Gibbon Albert's bookshop operated on the ground floor of the house.
