Ladics House

Built on one level in the early nineteenth century, this common baroque house
served as a notary house. Lawyer Dr. György Ladics and his wife were the first to reside here
in 1830 and later in 5 generations of their family lived here.

The house and the exhibition is invaluable for history, and for those who intrested in antropology and sociology because in Hungary there was always a thin layer of civic-intellectuals.
That is what makes the house extraordinary, and on top of that, it’s collection can take you back in time, as it has parts from the reform age, dualism, and two world wars.
