History

In 1445 Hunyadi János acquired Nagybánya. After his death it passed to his sons and became a royal estate when Matthias was elected king of Hungary in 1458. In 1463 its coin mint issued 20,000 ducats (gold coins) a year and it was one of the most important towns in Hungary. In 1464, King Matthias restored the town to the free royal town status it had lost in 1411. In 1469 King Matthias granted permission to enclose the town with a wall.

Its construction is dated 1446, during the stay of Hunyadi János in Nagybánya. It is said that Szilágyi Erzsébet lived here after the death of her husband Hunyadi János in 1456. Stylistically, the building is dated to the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries. In fact, it is not one house, but two, standing behind each other. It was still the property of the Hungarian state at the end of the 19th century.
