The Darvas - La Roche House was built between 1909 and 1912 by the Art Nouveau brothers László and József Vágó. The chic building is unique in its beauty and modernity, being able to stand next to the most original European architectural creations from the beginning of the 20th century. The building offers an exceptional architectural spectacle, largely preserved in the vision in which it was built a hundred years ago. Its beauty consists in the numerous elements specific to the Viennese secession, found in the geometric shapes practiced by the two architects. Inside, neo-rococo-style antique furniture is carved from white-painted maple wood and kept in the upstairs... bedroom. The rooms are furnished with decorative pieces and paintings that define the modern and refined lifestyle of the early twentieth century. With the façade discreetly inserted in the urban ensemble of Oradea, the building is included in a restoration process that will be completed with funding from European funds. Testimony of the family drama of the lawyer Sór and of the love story from the family of the actor Simon György, Casa Darvas - La Roche must impose its presence on every agenda in the tourist route of the city of Oradea.
