History
The Baroque Armenian merchant house was built between 1770-1778 by the architect Vertán István. It was purchased by the Austrian authorities in 1820 (1821?) and the headquarters of the Gyergyó battalion of the Noble First Székely Infantry Regiment were established here. In the spring of 1849, Gál Sándor, commander of the revolutionary troops in Csík, arrested Major Csernikó and the Austrian training officers of the Székely border regiment here, enabling the people of Gyergyó to once again support the Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence. Its wooden gate was made in 1885 by Máthé Imre, a master carver. The Tarisznyás Márton Museum mainly exhibits ethnographic relics of the Gyergyó region.
Today it houses the Tarisznyás Márton Museum. The collecting work started in the early 1950s by a few enthusiastic intellectuals and artists (mostly from Gyergyószentmiklós). Tarisznyás Márton (1927-1980), a young student of history, became the first employee and director of the museum; he served and managed the museum for the rest of his life, passionately collecting, professionally processing, exhibiting and making available to the public the relics of the past of the people of Gyergyó. The collection was moved to its present location in 1962. The museum took the name of Tarisznyás Márton in 1992.
