Let´s return from the Castle Square back to the Main Square. Apart from the fact that the
square was named after various politicians in the near past until it returned to its original
name, it is characterized by picturesque burgher houses from various historical periods.
Here we find, for example, house No. 55, built in the Gothic style from the mid-15th cen
tury. It is also known as the house of the goldsmith Daniel Haltz. At present, there is an
Exposition of the burgher housing culture, a branch of the Museum in Kežmarok. In the
19th century, Štefan Palcsó (1826 – 1895), a native of Kežmarok, lived in the house and was
a teacher and writer. Therefore, this house is called the House of Palcsó.
The museum documents the housing culture of Spiš burghers or aristocrats from var
ious periods
