History

In 1808, Countess Károlyi Györgyné had the Szarvas (Deer) Inn built on the basis of Ibl Miklós's plans. The Hungarian revolutionary poet Petőfi Sándor, who was on a Transylvanian tour, met Szendrey Júlia at the county ball held here on 8 September 1846. In 1890 it was renovated for a town hall. In 1899 a memorial plaque to Petőfi was unveiled on its walls. The building was nationalised in 1948. It was recently renovated as a town hall again thanks to Mayor Kovács Jenő.
