The so-called Huszita (Hussite) House is situated in Kossuth Lajos Street in the north of Gönc. Local legend says it was originally built and used by Hussites though it hasn’t been proved. Today, it is used as a country house.

The walls of the house were made of stone and had narrow windows. The house had a cellar from where tunnels were dug to connect it with the neighbouring houses. So it was like a fortress with escaping routes, which was necessary because of the frequent fights.
Inside the country-house we can see how the peasants and bourgeois lived during the second half of the 19th century.

This exhibition also shows the everyday life of potters, coach makers, shoemakers, coopers, slippers makers, millers and charcoal burners of that era. The exhibition takes place not only in the house, but also in the network of cellars, where a few of the famous 136.6 litre barrels from Gönc are also displayed. How many “puttony” the aszú wine is still measured by the number of hods of botrytised or nobly rotted grapes (known as Aszú) added to a Gönci barrel of wine. (The puttony is actually the 25 kg basket or hod of Aszú grapes)

The yard of the Huszita House and the buildings show the old structure of Gönc. After the 1200s various ethnic groups were invited to settle down in Hungary, which had an effect on the structure of our settlements and this effect can also be seen here in Gönc. The building sites are long and the houses are built in lines. The stone buildings have hipped roofs and almost all of them have a cellar under them.
In the country house, the only remained carved stone window frame of the Paulite Monastery is on display.
