History

One of the most important Renaissance burgher houses in Transylvania. According to sources, it was built in 1588, but this is contradicted by the fact that the chief magistrate Johannes Schuller died in 1586. It was later used as an inn and was the place where several princes of Transylvania stayed when they were passing through Medgyes. Among others, Prince Báthori Zsigmond stayed there during a country assembly. Later it was used by descendants of the Schuller family, and later as an inn. It is now the municipal headquarters of the German Democratic Forum of Romania.
