History

This neoclassical palace was built by Teleki Sándor's parents, Telki János and Mikes Erzsébet. The house hosted celebrities such as Táncsics Mihály, who educated Teleki Sándor, the writer Jókai Mór, and the composed Liszt Ferenc, a friend of Teleki Sándor, who stayed here from 10-15 March 1879, listening from the balcony to the serenade of the 120-strong choir of the town's citizens. The ancient Transylvanian Hungarian aristocracy was dispossessed by the Romanian invaders in 1921. They could only keep their estates in one settlement. The Teleki family sold the house in the early 1920s.
