History
The palace dates back to the 16th century, and most of the Princes of Transylvania stayed here during their stay in Kolozsvár. The date 1828 marks the construction of the second floor. From the 19th century onwards, its upper floor was used as a casino. This may be the origin of the superstition that anyone who passed under its balcony would be unlucky.
