History

It was originally a late Gothic two-story building, which was expanded in the 17th and 18th centuries and was reconstructed in the 19th century.

The first owner was the Lutheran Zsembery noble family. They were followed by an apothecary named Amman, whose widow later leased the building. She was allegedly visited by Empress Maria Theresia as well. In the second half of the 19th century the Slovak nationalist attorney Gustav Lehotsky acquired the building, who was visited by the Czech writer Jaroslav Hasek at the beginning of the 20th century.

It has been the home of the town museum named after Andrej Sládkovic since 1965. Andrej Sládkovic (18201872) was a Slovak poet, critic, journalist and translator.
