The Orczy House, or as it was once called, the "Gateway to the Jewish quarter” was the largest tenement house in the city in the early 1800s, containing 48 large apartments, 142 one-piece apartments, innumerable stores, storage spaces, ritual baths, restaurants, coffee shops and two synagogues.

This simple structure, named after the Orczy family was the first stop for Jews seeking to settle in Pest.
