On the site next to the parsonage of the Calvinist church, but closer to the Calvinist church than the parish itself, there is a residential building of medieval origins. The real estate is possessed by the Association of Young Calvinists (FIRESZ) and houses the community services of the Hungarian Calvinist church based in Košice. After a long period of deterioration, which meant the building was ruinous, this autumn the structure was revived after designs by János Krcho. So as to prevent the complete deterioration of the building, FIRESZ had the roofing repaired many years ago. Ongoing reconstruction works at present are targeted to the ground floor and the first level, the yard and the facades, as well as the presentation of the cellar level featuring decorations dating from the Middle Ages.
