was more apparent and the central axe more stressed, and both the surfaces and the frames were characterized by Romantic stylistic elements. The staircase of the main and court wing was also rebuilt. On the court wing new storey was built. In the year of Rottenbiller'

s death, in 1870 was the rebuilding finished based on the plans of Károly Bergh, architect (1838, Varsány-1889, Budapest). At that time the backyard was surrounded with two storeyed wings and the back wing in Pál Török street got a Neorenaissance architecture. On this the striped ground floor opened in the centre with a portal framed by pilasters is topped by two storeyes divided with stringcourses, with windows closed by tympanons and straight labels. In 1886 smaller ground plan changes were ordered by Adél, the daughter of Lipót Rottenbiller, built by the plans of Ferenc Novak on the first and second storey of the Kálvin square wing. In 1935 the building got to the possession of the Calvinist church and slight changes were made. At this time the Calvinist bookshop, press, offices of the student association Soli Deo Gloria, pastor's apartments, kitchen-restaurant, Calvinist mission and guest rooms were placed in the building. In the 2nd World War the building was damaged, and in 1948 it got into state possession, part of it was however used by the Calvinist Church (their Convent Archive moved here). In 1957 on the basis of the plans of Ferenc Kacziba (KÖZTI) the reconstruction of the Kálvin square main facade was made. In 1992 the Calvinist Church got back the building, and reconstruction works planned for several years have begun.
