History

One of the oldest buildings in Zilah. It bears a plaque proclaiming that in 1714, on his way home from Bender, King Charles XII of Sweden spent a night in the house as the guest of his friend, Pastor Zoványi György. The pastor had met the monarch during his studies abroad. The house has since been extensively rebuilt.
