History
The Damokos family of Alsócsernáton owned the house, which was given its present neoclassical form in 1831 (the monuments list gives 1838). Earthquakes damaged it several times. The state nationalised it in 1949; it then served as a grain store, maternity home, workers' housing, a pig farm and a tractor station. In 1971-72 it was handed over for cultural use, and from 1973 it has held the museum and the Csernáton folk school. It was renovated in 1993-1994.
