Koszeg - Golden Unicorn Pharmacy

(Local Name: Arany Egyszarvu Patikaház) A medieval town house was converted to a Jesuit monastery, and the monks ran it as a pharmacy. When the order of monks was dissolved in 1777 the chemist Mátyás Svalla bought the house together with the Baroque fittings and furnishings which had been installed c 1740 by the Jesuit monks, and formed the town pharmacy known as "The Golden Unicorn". The pharmaceutical museum also contains some turned wooden crucibles and lead-glazed earthenware vessels.
