History

The house was built in the 1730s by Haller János, a timber merchant and entrepreneur. He had his offices on the ground floor and his apartment on the upper floor. In 1918, the Haller family fled to Budapest to escape the Romanian occupation, and in 1919 the house was confiscated by the Romanians. The building was then used to manage state logging, but it was neglected and abandoned. It was renovated in 2002, when the Hungarian-language Leőwey Klára seconadry school moved here.
