History

In 1908, the Hungarian state had a new, modern building erected for the main grammar school. In 1918, the occupying Romanians confiscated the building, whitewashed, then removed the Hungarian coat of arms from its facade and turned it into a fully Romanian-language grammar school. Today, it bears the name of Mihai, the voivode of Wallachis, who ravage Transylvania between 1599 and 1600.
