The two-story house built formerly as coffee house and hotel was sold by its owner, hotelier Pleyer Károly to the city administration in 1901. Since 1902 the upper part of the facility served as municipal offices, while the ground floor accommodated a pharmacy. In the building yard city prison and police station was created for the communal police. Later, as the years passed, the two-storey building has been renovated and restored several times; so it was in 1958-59 when the building was extended.
The building was reshaped again: over the entrance a tower was erected as part of the city's image transformation started according to Imre Makovecz in 1995. In no time, the resulting modified "new" City Hall has become a determining building of Dunaszerdahely cityscape and one of its symbols.
