History

The house was built in Renaissance style in 1616 by the mine operator Eggstein Zsigmond von Ehrenegg. The house was later named after the judge of Selmecbánya (Belházy). In 1770 the Academy of Mining purchased the building. It became the chemical laboratory of the academy and Giovanni Antonio Scopoli started educating chemistry and metallurgy in it. The education continued in the building until 1900.
