Built in the second half of the 18th century, this Baroque-Rococo house
stands on the corner of Town Hall Square. The statue of St Sebastian is
placed in the Baroque curtain-decorated niche.

The Rococo stucco decorations of the window sills on the side facing the
square and on the corner balcony are rich and varied. The corner balcony
is supported by two stone bearded heads. A stone fence was erected in
front of the arcaded courtyard with the former proprietor’s family crest
engraved into the keystone of the stone-framed gate. A rearing lion holds
a sword in his right front paw, pointing ahead with his left.

In 1727 the house was the property of city judge, Mihály Hiemer. The stucco
decorated Font House and the more modest Caraffa House overlooking
School Street (Oskola utca) are both built together with the Hiemer House,
located on the corner of School Street and Town Hall Square (Városház tér).
