History

The old town hall was built between 1505 and 1511 in late Gothic style with Renaissance parts. It has a Renaissance stairway. It is considered to be the first Renaissance building in the territory of present-day Slovakia. There is a clock on its wall from the 16th century, below that the coat of arms of Hungary can be seen, and above the clock is the statue of the knight Roland.

It hosts now the historical and liturgical exhibition of the Museum of Sáros. The museum was established in 1903. Its first director, Vass A., was the director of the local grammar school. The first exhibition, relating to the history of Sáros County within Hungary, was opened in 1907. The famous art historian and photograph Divald Kornél had an important role in the establishment of the museum and also in collecting the materials for the exposition.
