It collapsed, along with the rest castle of the knights after the devastating earthquake of 1933. It is the first house to be restored in the medieval castle of Pantoniki in Emporeios.

Restoring the authentic architecture of the building was achieved thanks to following the traditional building manner and using the genuine building materials. The house now has modern infrastructure, of high quality and minimalist aesthetics, and disposes of the biggest cistern in Emporeios, plus two more.
