This modest house is one of the oldest one from Zalău. A board on its wall informs us that in 1714 in one of its arched rooms of the old building, king of Sweden himself spent one night, Carol the XII, who was returning from Bender (today Tighina). His host was the priest Zovanyi György who became friend with the king when he was studying abroad. Since then the house was modified, the room with arcades was gone only the board reminds about the once event.
