The ensemble is also known as the "Old Town Hall". The complex is one of the most important architectural monuments of the late Gothic period and the largest Gothic residential ensemble in Romania. It was built mainly between 1475 and 1485. In the middle of the 16th century, the ensemble became the town hall. Today, the Historical Museum is located here. It documents the settlement history of southern Transylvania from the Stone Age to the Middle Ages.
