History
The house was built between 1818-22. It was the headquarters of the Hussars regiment. After the 1848-49 Hungarian War of Independence, the district court moved into the building when the border guard was disbanded. It also served as a death row. Later, the building became the property of the Székely Tanalap (Educational Fund), and for decades it was the seat of the district of Sepsi and its court. Before the First World War, the building was in danger of being demolished, but the outbreak of the war saved it. From the 1950s, the treasures of the State Archives were kept here.
