History

It was built in the 16th century. The brother-in-law of Lőcsei Pál lived in the house before 1550, when it burned down. At the beginning of the 17th century it was owned by Máriássy Ferenc. In 1672 the town acquired the house and sold it to the Lutheran priest Serpilius János, who left it on his son-in-law Hain Gáspár. Hain Gáspár was the famous chronicler of Lőcse. At the beginning of the 18th century the Hain family donated the house to the Lutheran Church and a Lutheran lyceum (college) was opened in it. The college operated until 1899.
