History

The house was built in Empire style in 1845 according to the plans of Feigler Ignác Sr. Its owner, Kern Endre, run a café, a confectionery and a restaurant in the building. There is a bronze plaque on the corner of the building commemorating a rather unworthy event. In 1938 the Indian Prime Minister Nehru and his daughter, Indra Ghandi, met the Slovak communist Vladimir Clementis in the restaurant. Clementis was an extremely nationalist politician, who hated the Hungarians (this is not a contradiction, in fact Slovak and Romanian communists were all anti-Hungarian chauvinists). Clementis, as a Minister of Foreign Affairs of Czechoslovakia, played a key role in the violent expulsion of the Hungarians, and in their deprivation of properties and rights.
