In the time of our King Louis II the town council wanted to pull down the building in order to make more space, but the king did not give permission, saying that the lack of the house would spoil the athmosphere of the square.

From the middle of the 17th century the Angel Pharmacy was run here and pharmacist and physician families lives here. One of its most famous dweller was physician and meterologist Ádám Gensel (1677-1720) orvos meteorológus volt, who discovered the influence of weather fronts on the human sytem.

When the Gensel family extended the pharmacy in the 18th century, its front wall legs and the corridor were done away with. The house gained its present form in 1850. After its renovation of 1966-67 the Pharmacy Museum of Sopron was placed here.
