History
The only 18th century building on the south side of the square. In 1733, the salt office was built on its site. It was converted into the Chamber House, the west wing of which incorporates the building of the salt office. Between 1746 and 1747 it was converted into an enclosed courtyard building. It was then the regional branch of the Austrian Imperial Chamber. In 1754, it was adapted for civil administration and the interior was modified. The adjoining building of the Chamber Treasury was also joined to it. During the 1774 rebuilding, another wing was added, mirroring the old wing, so that it now had two enclosed inner courtyards. Soon afterwards it was used as a county hall. After the suppression of the Hungarian War of Independence, it was the seat of the Serb Vajdaság and Temes Bánság from 1849 to 1861, and then it became the seat of Temes County again. Between 1885 and 1886, the architect Jacques Klein removed the Baroque elements of the building, with modifications mainly affecting the main facade. The wing separating the two courtyards was also demolished. Since 2006, it has been home to the Temes Museum of Art.
Museum of Fine Arts:
The first painting was registered in the inventory of the Museum of Bánság in 1879. This was followed between 1888 and 1895 by donations from Ormós Zsigmond, one of the museum's founders. In 1943, the museum moved to a wing of the Palace of Culture and in 1947 to the Hunyadi Castle. In 1987, the Fine Arts Department of the Banat Museum moved to the western wing of the Baroque Palace. On 1 January 2006, the department was transformed into the Museum of Fine Arts with more than 8,500 exhibits.
