The Hangvilla is built from the building of former Séd Cinema. The building served as a cinema from the 1980s. In 2005, Swing-Swing Ltd. bought the property off the City Council. Until the start of the Hangvilla project it was home to the successful operation of two institutions, the Pannon Theatre – offering theatre performances – and the Expresszó Youth Club with live concerts.

The Hangvilla Multifunctional Community Centre is open to the widest range of cultural activities; it represents the directions of appreciating the fundamental cultural traditions interpreting culture as a resource also, while allowing space for creative new forces.
