It is known that this house was donated by the king Carol 3rd , Maria Tereza’s father to a merchant Martin Wankel, in 1704.
Together with this donation, because of the multiple services to the King, the merchant was made a Baron.
The former stalls and the back servants’ houses were transformed in 1938 into houses.
