The building was erected in the 19th century to plans by the Budapest architect Béla Ney. Previously, the arcaded one-storey building of the House of the Golden Cross stood on the site. On 6 November 1848, the honorary citizen of Komárno Lajos Kossuth was lodged here. It had several owners. The eclectic building once housed the First Savings Bank in Komárno and, after nationalisation, also the consulting rooms of the District Health Institute (the so-called Polyclinic). In 2003 it was transferred to the ownership of the Nitra Self-Governing Region, which did not look after the building for years, and as it stood empty, its condition deteriorated. Since 2011 it has been owned by the town of Komárno.
In September 2020 the representatives of Komárno approved the drawing up of complete project documentation for its renovation.
