History
The former country hall was built between 1886-1887, based on the plans of Hám Ignác, in an eclectic neo-Renaissance style.After 1878, with the establishment of the county system, Csíkszereda became the centre of Csík County. At that time the movement for the construction of the new country hall in Csíkszereda was launched, the main promoter of which was the ispán Mikó Mihály. The seat of the county moved from Csíksomlyó in 1879, first to the Mikó Castle, and soon the construction of the new county hall began. Between 1913 and 1914 the old building was enlarged, the facade was proportionally extended both to the south and to the north. It was then given its Nobaroque appearance.
In the 1970s, the leadership in the fast-growing town wanted a new headquarters in line with socialist expectations. The new county hall is the seat of the present day Hargita county administration. After its construction, the municipal administration was housed in the former county hall building.
