History

The Renaissance house dates back to the 17th century, and it was originally Gothic. Kéler Béla was born here in 1820. He was a famous music composer and conductor of orchestra in his time, but now he is nearly completely forgotten. He was born in a Lutheran noble family. The house was marked with a plaque in 1906, and the following was written on it: "Kéler Béla composer was born in this house on Februar 23, 1820. Placed by the grateful Hungarian community in memory of the famous composer". The Czechoslovaks removed the plaque and now another plaque commemorates the birth of "Vojtech Kéler" only in Slovak language.
