History

The house was named after its original owner Leopold Fritz von Friedenlieb, who was a mine owner. This was the main building of the Academy of Mining, where the rector's office was located. There was also a council chamber and a library in the building and it hosted the Faculty of Engineering as well.

The Academy leased the building from 1829 and in 1885 they purchased it. Afterwards it was reconstructed according to the plans of Schulek Frigyes. The education of mining took place in the building until the construction of the new Palace of Mining and Metallurgy was finished. The ground floor of the building was occupied by the Molnár Inn, where the Hungarian Society also held its gatherings.
