History
The house was built in the 15th century. It was owned by Baron Hellenbach Gottfried János (1659-1728), the owner of mines and breweries, from the end of the 17th century. He was also the doctor of Emperor Leopold I and later he became the follower and doctor of Prince Rákóczi Ferenc II, the leader of the Hungarian War of Independence between 1703 and 1711. He bore the title Count of the Mining Chamber during the War of Independence.
The building was the seat of the Mining Court (Berggericht) between 1792 and 1852. Between 1854 and 1859 it was the seat of the Mining District. From 1860 to 1900 the third faculty of the Academy of Mining occupied the building. The 76 meters-long Michael-tunnel, which can be visited by tourists, opens from its courtyard. The Academy of Mining was established in 1762 and the education started in 1764. It was the first academy of mining in the world. The Polytechnique in Paris was established in 1795 on the model of the Academy of Selmecbánya.
