History

This is a reproduction of the house in which Prince Rákóczi Ferenc II lived in Rodosto (Edirne, Turkey) during his exile after the fall of the Hungarian War of Independence in 1711. The plans had already been made by Lux Kálmán back in 1908, but because of World War I and the Czechoslovak invasion the construction could only begin in 1942, after the Hungarian town had returned to Hungary.

But the construction was again halted by the Soviet invasion, the return of the Czechoslovak administration and the expulsion of the Hungarian inhabitants of Kassa. The building was only finished in 1991, and the museum was opened.
