History
The building was constructed in the 14th century in Gothic style. At the end of the 15th century it was owned by Archbishop Szatmáry György of Esztergom (1457-1524), who was born in Kassa. Later it became the property of Thurzó Elek (1490-1543). In 1542 Thurzó Elek donated the building to the town of Lőcse, and it became the favorite accommodation of the merchants of Lőcse, hence its name.
In 1569 the building was purchased by Kassa and it was turned into a luxurious guest house. The wedding party of Prince Bethen Gábor of Transylvania and Catherine of Brandenburg was held here on March 2, 1626. The feast lasted one week and the members of European ruling houses participated in it. It was reconstructed in Renaissance style in the 17th century. In the 18th century it was given Baroque adornments. In 1782 it lost its significance because the Black Eagle Hotel was opened, which became the most important guest house of the town.
