So called Beggar's House (Žobrákov dom), with its distinctive Art-Nouveau-Romantic facade, belongs without any doubts among the most beautiful burgherhouses of Košice historic centre.

The house with medieval Gothic core (15th century) was rebuilt several times and its present look is a result of its last Art-Nouveau-Romantic reconstruction in 1898. The richly decorated building, atoped by statue of Merchant - the owner and "rebuilder" Mr. Strasser, is also interesting by fresco of god Mercury - work of painter Július Éder.
