History

Built between 1775 and 1777 in the Baroque style according to the designs of Lodovico Marini during the Austrian reconstruction of the castle, it is a continuation of the south-eastern (C block) wing of the princely palace. Its original tower was destroyed by fire in 1836. It is currently used by the Catholic Slovaks of Nagyvárad.
