The house, built in Baroque style in the 18th century, was named in honor of its owner, Janos Butler, the hero of the story "Strange marriage" the Kalman Mixata, one of the most famous Hungarian writers of the XIX-XX centuries.

The plot of "Strange marriage" became the real story that occurred in the late eighteenth century, when Baron Deri (Mixat retain the original names of the main actors) forcibly married Earl Butler to his daughter, to hide the shame of her secret connection with the village priest, and Butler then for twenty years could not obtain from the ecclesiastical authorities of the termination of this unhappy Union.

Mixat heard this story from my colleague, MP Dej Bernat, whose father, Zsigmond Bernat, was a friend of Butler, and was present when allegedly forced the wedding of count. (Actually J. Bernat was then only two years; but later he actually became friends with the Butler, despite the difference in age.) Mixat also had relevant archival documents, however, used the official presentation of the acclaimed business only in its main features and relied, essentially, on the version that existed among the people and was inspired by the liberal ideas of the period of the struggle for reform (20-30-ies of the XIX century).

The building in Baroque style was located the deaf Institute and boarding school. From 1949 to 1957 it had become home to the local Museum. Later the building was used as a hostel and is currently rented as offices.
