History

The house got its name because in the Middle Ages its facade and its rooms were decorated with green frescos. During the reign of King Ferdinand I of Hungary in the 16th century, country assemblies and other events were organized in the building, but it had also been functioning as an inn and restaurant for quite some time. Bónis Ferenc was sentenced to death in this building on April 10, 1671 because of his participation in the Wesselényi-conspiracy. A small theatre was created in its rear part in 1760-61 and it served as the town's theatre until 1775, when the permanent theatre of the Csáky family was built.
