History

It is the oldest house in the town, from the end of the 17th century. In 1845 Petőfi Sándor, the great Hungarian poet of the Revolution and War of Independence in 1848-49, spent a few nights here during his journey in northern Hungary. His host was Huszth János, the attorney of the town. Győri Ida, the mother of the writer Győri Dezső, marked the house with a plaque in 1939 after the town returned to Hungary in 1938.
