Summary

A 16th-century manor in Micăsasa (Sibiu County), later a Brukenthal property, with a gate tower and former stables. Owned by the commune since 2013, it has stood derelict for about two decades and is the subject of modest repair efforts, with full renovation estimated at about EUR 2 million.

Legal status

Nationalised under communism; transferred to Micăsasa Town Hall in October 2013 ↗

History

The manor was built in the 16th century and was first the home of the wealthy Adam Rodac. In the 18th century it passed to Samuel von Brukenthal, governor of Transylvania, as a donation from Maria Theresa. After nationalisation it served as a savings bank (CEC) headquarters and then as a school until 2001. Since October 2013 it has belonged to Micăsasa Town Hall. In February 2021 the town hall partnered with Ambulanța pentru Monumente to repair the roof, and volunteers worked on the roof in 2021.
