History

This is the oldest building in the town, the earliest, north-western part of which was built between 1690 and 1691. It was enlarged in 1834 and a completely enclosed courtyard was created, where convicts were hanged. There was a prison in its basement. In 1891, it underwent an interior and exterior renovation, when it was given a neoclassical-eclectic main facade with the coat of arms of the Máramaros County and Hungary in its tympanum. It is currently a restaurant.
