History

One of the oldest buildings in the town. It is named after its first owner and builder, Baron Vécsey Miklós. In 1711, the Peace of Szatmár was concluded in the building that once stood on the site of the Vécsey Palace. This ended the Hungarian War of Independence led by Rákóczi Ferenc II. This is commemorated on a plaque by Papp Aurél in the inner courtyard of the building. The building is currently home to the Szatmár Museum of Fine Arts.
