It is housed in a Late Baroque building from the end of the 16th century. During the 18th century the Făgăraş family donated the edifice, nowadays storied, to the Romanian Orthodox Bishopric. The building is known also under the name of the Inn (or Pub) of the Post Office, as once an inn and a post service functioned there.
