History

The house was created in the 16th century by joining two Gothic houses. It gained its current Classicist appearance in 1803 in a reconstruction according to the plans of J. Thaller.

It was originally a parish building, and later between 1808 and 1841 it was the seat of the newly established Scholl of Forestry.

It was the center of the students' community activities. At the beginning of the 1860s the "Szittnya Club" was established here. It was one of the first tourist associations of Europe. It was named after Mount Szitnya, which is the highest peak of the Mountain of Selmec with its height of 1011 meters. On November 2, 1872 at midnight the Hungarian Society was also established here. Balls and other events were held in the building as well.
