History

The Bak Palace was built in 1896-97 on the north-western corner of the bridge over the Szamos River, at 1 Nagy (now Horea) Street. The widow of Oriold József, born as Szigeti Anna, started to build the house in 1896, and after she became the wife of B. Bak Lajos. The tenement house, completed in 1907, was known as the Bak Palace, although it was always in his wife's property. After the death of Bak Lajos in 1907, his widow married I. Irsay József. For this reason, the tenement was also called Oriold Palace or Irsay Palace. It is also incorrectly called Berde Palace.
