History

The palace was built by Count Toldalagi László (1748-1805) and his wife Korda Anna after the seat of the government of Transylvania (Gubernium) was moved to Kolozsvár by Governor Bánffy György in 1790. It was built from 1803 to 1808 according to the plans of Carlo Justi. The couple who built it died without children. In 1840, the inheritor of the palace, Bethlen Kata, was married to Count Bánffy Miklós. The palace was nationalised after 1945 from the writer-politician Bánffy Miklós. Today it is occupied by university offices.
