Lőrinc pap tér 3. [Darányi-palota] lakóház

The building was constructed in 1894 based on the plans of Sándor Staerk, commissioned by Mrs. József Liebner. Her husband, József Liebner, imperial and royal steward, is regarded as a prominent figure in Hungarian beekeeping. At one time, a restaurant operated on the ground floor, followed by a honey warehouse. In honor of this, we have created a small local history exhibition, where visitors can learn about the family of the original builder, view stamped bricks, and see photographs depicting the life of the house. Our small inner courtyard was created through community planning.

The four-story, neo-Baroque rental house stands on Lőrinc pap, formerly Scitovszky Square. The lady who commissioned the building was married to József Liebner of Kakucs, who served as an imperial and royal steward. In addition to operating a honey warehouse, Liebner also ran a tavern in the building, which stirred the sensibilities of the faithful attending the Jesuit church across the street, as well as the residents of the girls’ shelter next door. His monogram can be seen above the gate. The building, also known as the Darányi Palace, got its name from István Darányi, an influential liquor dealer who lived there from 1933.
