History

The museum was established in 2002 thanks to the initiative of Archdeacon Csató Béla and Márton Judit, a specialist engineer in monument conservation. Initially, the exhibition material in the northern side gallery of the church consisted only of oil paintings, but later, as a result of continuous collecting, it was expanded with valuable objects made from gold and silver, sculptures, liturgical books and objects. The permanent exhibition opened on 24 June 2005.

On 28 March 1707, the last Transylvanian country assembly held in the Castle Church in Marosvásárhely elected Rákóczi Ferenc II as Prince. The Prince then received the congratulatory delegations on the upper floor of this house.
