The Goldziher House was one of the town's central buildings at the time, so Rigó Jancsi and his companion surely walked past it during their strolls. Ignác Goldziher was born in this very house—as commemorated by a plaque on its wall—though by that period he rarely returned to Fehérvár.

The building is one of the oldest houses in the city. It was constructed in the 13th century in the Gothic style and was later enriched with Baroque details. A unique feature of the single-story house's entrance is that the medieval paved street level remains visible. During its restoration, the walls were left unplastered, making the different architectural eras much easier to trace. The windows originating from various historical periods are also particularly noteworthy. Rigó Jancsi and Clara lived an active social life in Székesfehérvár, enabled by the flourishing cultural scene and intellectual revival of the era. Alongside the opening of the theatre, new weekly newspapers were launched, and the city's first public library opened its doors.
