History

A place for family tales of Pécs.

For some time a bakery was operating here, but later on, from 1744 it was owned for almost a century by the Hoitsy family, who had a prestigious genteel residence on the second floor. Later on Ferenc Schneckenberger turned it into a restaurant which became well-known under the name of White Elephant. Later it was purchased by József Piatsek who, being an architect, transformed it into a tenement house, giving the building its recent shape. The grocery- metal- and colonial produce shop of Pucher, called “To the Black Elephant” also used to occupy this building. Its inner space is the Hild Garden.
