Bíró–Giczey Ház

Built in 1772 by merging two previously developed plots, this late Baroque house was commissioned by Canon István Giczey. The U-shaped building is richly decorated from the inside, and restoration works have uncovered depictions of gardens and landscapes on the walls of the great hall. Above the cornice, the tondi depict various mythological scenes, while the ceiling is decorated with the Phaethon's chariot. The centrepiece shows depictions of scenes from antiquity and the Christian world, while the ceiling of the canon's bedroom has putto depictions of the four sciences: theology, literature, astrology and geography.
