History

The Kemény House was built in the 18th century in the Baroque style by the Kemény baronial family. The building has changed its purpose many times over the years. At the beginning of the century, in 1907, it was the seat of the Hungarian Gentleman's Casino, and in 1921 it became the property of the Romanian State Security. For a short time after the town was returned to Hungary, the building was used as the headquarters of the Catholic Bachelor's Association.
