History

It was created by Rákóczi Zsigmond in Renaissance style at the end of the 16th century by joining two older burgher's houses.

In 1633 Prince Rákóczi György of Transylvania and Emperor Ferdinand II made the Agreement of Eperjes in the house. In 1701 it became a prison. The last owner from the Rákóczi family was Prince Rákóczi Ferenc II during the War of Independence of Hungary. The Rákóczis wore the title "eternal ispán of Sáros County".
