History
Two one-story buildings from the beginning of the 16th century were connected with a semicircular portal around 1650. A floor was added to the building and it was also expanded with a new wing in the direction of the courtyard. Its fist known owner was the Benedik family from the 17th century. They were engaged in logging, metallurgy, iron processing, sheep-breeding, but they also run an inn, leased a tobacco shop and had the right to brew beer.
The building burned down in a fire in 1779. In 1784 Benedik Dániel, the captain of the town, renovated it. The building gained its present appearance in a reconstruction in the 1980s, when it was restored to its form of the year 1779.
Now the building hosts the historical exhibition of the Museum of Upper-Garam Region.
