The First Savings Bank

Opposite of the Truncated Church, Debrecen's very first savings bank was already functional in 1872. The currently standing, sececcionist styled building was completed in 1912, with decorations of stuccos and sculptures on the front.

Since 1949, it was used for cultural occassions, like the so-called "Officer Casino", which helped foster good relationships between civilians and the military.

Currently it is home to a few cheap chinese shops.
