History
It was built in 1913 for the seat of the Freemason movement established in 1870. It was planned by the architect Sipos Béla. In 1938, after Kassa returned to Hungary, the Freemason movement was banned and the building became the seat of the Order of Vitéz. It was reconstructed according to the plans of Őri Lajos. The Order of Vitéz was an official Hungarian order of merit founded in 1920, after Hungary lost two thirds of its core territory in the Trianon Dictate. Members were accepted based on either military merits or other services made for the Hungarian nation. They followed strict conservative values which was a reaction to the spreading plague of communism. The members could use the name prefix "Vitéz", which means valiant soldier in Hungarian.
