History

In 1789, the building was completed by Count Kendeffy Elek's widow, Bethlen Krisztina. It was built in the late Baroque-neoclassical style. On 1 June 1826, his son Kendeffy Ádám exchanged it for the two main square houses owned by the Tabula Regia of Transylvania. It was then remodelled for the institution according to the plans of Sófalvi József. It was the seat of the royal court of justice until 1849, but has been used by the legal authorities ever since. The new court and prison building was erected in its back yard.
