during the time when romania was a kingdom, the county bearing the name of târnava mică was formed, around the homonymous river, in transylvania, here, târnăveni (formerly târnava-sân-martin) functioned as a county seat.
in april 1912, târnăveni is elevated to the rank of city, and advances to gas-powered street lighting. in the year 1918, more precisely on the day of december 1st, the union of transylvania to the motherland was completed. in 1990, december 1st was selected to be the national day of romania.
between september and october 1944, the 82nd infantry regiment fought valiantly, in the târnava mică valley and on the hills around the city, against the german and hungarian forces. after the second world war, the established communist regime established an administrative reorganization and a specific socio-economic life for târnăveni.
the history of the city takes us back in time, in 1278, when it was first documented, although traces of human habitation have been found since the neolithic. the prosperity of the city made its eastern neighbour, the adjacent village of cuștelnic, to become part of târnăveni in 2000, through local referendum.
tall, majestic, and bearing a magnetic intensity of the color on the façades, elszeszer palace is located at the intersection of two streets in the city center. the history of the building originates in the xix century, in 1860, around its construction time. the palace provides a generous space with 10 rooms, which have different surfaces and are arranged as: lower ground + ground floor + first floor.the built area totals about 650 sqm, with a footprint of 367 sqm and a usable area of approximately 400 sqm.
an asset of the property is the immediate functionality, as the building is connected to all the necessary utilities: water, gas, electricity and sewerage.
