History

The part facing the corner was built in 1450. Above the doorway, marked 1799, is a relief of St Michael. A plaque with a Latin inscription dating from 1773 commemorates the visit of Joseph II to Kolozsvár on 25-27 June and his stay here as a guest of Canon Benkő Mihály. The inner courtyard houses a permanent exhibition of sculptures by Szervátiusz Jenő. More than 80 sculptures are on display in the parish courtyard.
