It is one of the representative buildings in Transylvania belonging to Wallachian Princes. From the architectural point of view it combines Wallachian and Transylvanian features. It preserves the original structure (1714) in the layout and in the cellars, with minimal modifications and modernizations from the 19th-20th centuries in the upper levels. Nice Corinthian capitals are preserved in the structure of the main gate of the precinct. Part of the historic park is preserved. The massiveness of brick and stone masonry preserved the building from serious structural damages.
