History
In 1892, the Jewish Groedel family founded the Transylvanian Forest Industry Joint Stock Company and purchased the sawmill in Visó from the Hungarian state together with the timber accumulated there. They made their fortune from the extraction of timber. In 1903, Groedel Ármin, Berát and Albert were made noblemen, and in 1905 they were made barons.
The brothers Groedel Herman and Ármin built two villas on Kamarai Street, surrounded by an English park. At the turn of the century, Baron Groedel Ármin became the owner of both villas, and he connected them with an imposing main building with a tower. The Groedel villa was famous for its ornate interior and the many sculptures and paintings inside. Groedel Ármin died in Budapest in 1930. The villa later housed a hospital.
