History

Wilhelm Czell's palace, built in 1901 to Albert Schuller's design, stands on the corner of Monastery Street and Rezső Boulevard. It is also known as the "Sun Palace" thanks to the reliefs of the sun and angels that decorate the facade.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the group of companies of Czell Frigyes and his sons had a monopoly on beer production in Transylvania. In addition to beer production, they were also involved in distilling, sugar production, trade and construction; the Czell brothers built several tenement houses in the centre to supplemented their fortune by renting out apartments. Karl Czell built his palace at 13 Monastery Street in 1898, Wilhelm Czell built the 'sun palace' at Rezső Boulevard in 1901, and Friedrich Czell Jr. built the main square palace in 1903.
