The building, which occupies a picturesque position on the bank of the Cărtiorul stream, was built at the end of the 18th century. From the beginning it was built in the shape of a circular tower, and underwent several interventions over the years due to raising some porches in the area. It later developed in the form it is today, on three levels. It was restored in the late 20th century, and houses an exceptional ethnographic collection.
