History

The house was built in 1743 by Baroness Wesselényi Mária. The butchers' guild bought it, opened a shop in it and built a guest house in the back. Jósika Miklós, the father of the Hungarian romantic novel, was born here in 1794. The butcher Székely family had it remodelled and added a storey.
