History

It was built between 1805 and 1807 in late Baroque-Classicist style for the Csáky counts. The Dessewffy counts acquired it in the 19th century. On the pediment the coat of arms of the Csáky family can be seen with the cut off head of a Tatar warrior. In 1849 Grand Prince Constantine, the supreme commander of the Russian army sent to suppress the Hungarian War of Independence, stayed in the building. Now it is a bookstore and the office of the editorial of the "Kassai Figyelő", a Hungarian language monthly journal.
