History
The 18th century Baroque building currently houses the ethnographic section of the County Museum. It is the first and the most important representative of the Baroque aristocratic palaces, which were built after the supreme court of Transylvania (Tabula Regia) was moved to Marosvásárhely. It was built between 1759 and 1772 based on the design of the French architect Jean Louis D'or. The interior decorations were made by Schmidt Pál and the sculptor Anton Schuchbauer. The palace was built by Count Toldalagi László, the side judge of the Tabula Regia, and his wife Wass Kata (the twin coat of arms and marble plaque on the facade commemorate them). In 1786, the printing house established by Kapsonczai Nyerges Ádám was located here, and in 1802 it was donated to the Reformed College. It was a bank in the 1920s, and after restoration work in the 1960s, the Maros County Museum's history department moved into the building, and then the ethnographic department in 1984.
