Originally two buildings were joined by an inner courtyard and a link corridor in the beginning of the 18th century. A church was also attached to it. The statues of St. Florian and St. Joseph are seen between the windows of the first floor. The building was rebuilt in the 1960s.

Collection
Peter Vaczy had started collecting fine and applied art items since the 1930s. His private collection was moved to Gyor in the following way: “I visited historian professor Peter Vaczy two years ago. His great collection of XV-XVIII century furniture, porcelains, glasses, carpets and church relics was famous nation-wide. He would have liked to keep the items together, and it was my pleasure to place this marvelous material in my home town, Gyor” - Erno Kolozsvary.
