Built as a late Baroque (Zopf) style wine cellar and summer house at the end of the 18th century, it is one of the oldest monument buildings of Balatonfüred. It is known from historical sources, that originally it had a vineyard that reached up to the lake 800 meters from the building.

The mansion at the foot of the Tamás Hill was fully renovated and modernised in 2006-2007. Today it operates as a hotel where the walls are decorated  by young contemporary artists, some of them still unknown before getting the opportunity to exhibit here.
