The architect [[Johann Georg Schmidt]] built the mansion in [[established::1725]]–1752 without high ambitions, as it was designed merely for dancing parties. Its later name [[Cekin Mansion|Cekin]] derives from a deformation of a family name Szögeny, who was later an owner. The mansion had several eminent residents: Italian viceroy Eugen Beauharnais in 1813, the poet [[France Prešeren]] was a domestic teacher in 1818–1819, and family Kozler as last owners before the nationalisation after the Second World War. |
