History
It was built in Gothic style in the 1400s and it was later remodelled. It can be seen on the pedestrian street in the main square of the town.
The Johannes Lapicida House in Beszterce was built around 1500 in the Gothic style. The building came into the possession of Johannes Lapicida, also known as Hans Maurer, a Saxon mason from Beszterce, in 1538.
It must have been built towards the end of the 15th century, when it was only a single-storey stone house. Around 1520, it became the property of Andreas Beuchel, a descendant of a wealthy burgher family from Beszterce. From 1525 to 1526 he held the office of chief magistrate. In 1532, he was beheaded in the town market on suspicion of treason in a war between the town and the Moldavian Voivode Petru Rares. In 1533 the house was auctioned off and became the property of Christian Pomarius. Andreas Beuchel's descendants regained its ownership through litigation, and in 1538 it was bought from them by Johann Maurer, a mason and stonecutter from Beszterce. The town took it from him in 1546 in exchange for debts and sold it to Paul Budaker in 1549. In 1556 Johann Maurer bought it back. From then on the history of the house is unknown. It was rebuilt in the 1530s or 40s to its present late Gothic, early Renaissance form. It was considerably extended towards the courtyard in the 18th and 19th centuries.
