History

In the second half of the 16th century, during the reign of Prince Báthory István of Transylvania, the first guild, the guild of the tanners, was founded in Kézdivásárhely. In 1638 the bootmakers' guild was founded by the privilege granted by Prince Rákóczy György I of Transylvania. This letter is kept in the town museum and can still be seen today. The building was built in the eclectic style at the beginning of the 19th century.
