History

The building dates back to the 14th century, when it was a Gothic house. It was one of the secret gathering places of the German Lutherans of the town. After their wooden church outside of town burned down, the Lutherans held secret worships in private houses between 1709 and 1713. The house was owned by the Steinhausz family from the 18th century, who were burghers of Lőcse. It was the birthplace of Steinhausz László, who managed the construction of the Hungarian Parliament in Budapest. He also died here. The house gained its current facade in a reconstruction during the 19th century.
