Palace With Renaissance Elements

The location of this property is listed among its points of interest, being located on the oldest street in Cluj. King Ferdinand Boulevard, formerly called Strada Podului, led to Someș, thus connecting the Union squares with Mihai Viteazul, later named Gheorghe Doja, and later in 1999 named King Ferdinand, is located in the center of Cluj and serves as a commercial street, although buildings from the eighteenth to nineteenth centuries can be found there.    

The building is located on a plot of 677 sqm, with 395 sqm footprint and 1357 sqm usable area, is adjacent to buildings from the Roman and medieval era, these being classified as historical monuments of national importance and listed as such by the Romanian Ministry of Culture: The Museum Square, which is separated by a common wall. The dividing wall - the wall of the city fortress was built in Roman times and delimits the first fortress of the fortified Cluj. The wall is a real delight for visitors and tourists who arrive in the courtyard of the building- in the past there was a bistro on the ground floor of the building.

The property is made up of 48 rooms and 16 bathrooms and is distinguished through its status as a historical monument, being defined in the list of historical monuments as ”a house with Renaissance elements from the 16th - 18th century”. It is worth mentioning that the house was built around 1500, given the Roman arches still existing in the basement. The house can have a mixed use, offering both living opportunities, with a spacious apartment of 300 m2 located on the top floor, and office space on the ground and upper floors, where the Gorun & Associates Notary Firm operates. Established in 2007, it stands out as the largest notary firm in Romania, with the greatest number of associated notaries.
