The Building Complex of the Elephant House, Pecs

At first, the Building Complex of the Elephant House was constructed to be a restaurant, called the White Elephant, at the beginning of the 1800s. But at the same time another Elephant, The Black Elephant, was also opened, selling spices, tools and colonial goods. The silhouette of a metal elephant still stands on a console of the building complex. The building was reconstructed in 1820s, when the built-up northern area served as an apartment house.
