The Filstich-Kemeny house dates back to the late 15th-early 16111 century, later extended in severa! stages of construction. One of the early stages probably included the construction of the upper floor of the building, which coincided with the building of the doorframe with the engraved coat-of-anm, the year 1597 and the monogram of Petru Filstich Jr (farnous goldsrnith, keeper ofthe Cluj's treasury and councilor of prince Gabriel Bethlen). The quality of the work, the composition and the details make the doorframe one of the most valuable renaissance frameworks in Cluj. The exquisite sculpture of the doorframe and the fact that the most relevant personalities of the time were housed therein confirm the fact that the Filstich house was one ofthe most pretentious buildings in the city's central square. The plastic omaments of the main fai;ade were made in the last stage of the construction, and their theme is unique in the whole art of Transylvania: the plaster bas-relief of Saint Florian, surrounded by the representation ofthe four seasons ofthe year. The study presents the structure and the inner layout of the building ever since the 17111 century, as inferred from a partition document from 1672, as well as the line of landlords starting with the 16th century all the way to the l 900s, in itself an accurate reconstitution of the tax registers preserved in the State Archives, Department of Cluj.

FŐTÉR 13. Az U alaprajzú, háromszintes Frölich-ház a Főtér nyugati sorának legszerényebben tagolt épülete, melynek főhomlokzatát alacsony lábazati párkány, keskeny, profi lált övpárkány és palmettasoros frízzel kiemelt koronázópárkány tagolja. Az épület utca felőli, földszinti helyiségei felújításának első lépésében 2012 nyarán teljes vakolatcserére került sor. A munkálatok során számos olyan építészeti elem került elő, mely nagymértékben módosította a ház építéstörténetére vonatkozó ismereteinket. 1 Az újonnan előkerült részletek közül az egyik leglátványosabb emlék az a késő reneszánsz kapuzat volt, mely a három traktusból kialakított belső tér középső helyiségének északi falán, megközelítőleg egy méter magasan került elő a vakolatrétegek alól. A kapuzat a klasszikus reneszánsz nyíláskeretek felépítését követi, szárköveit gazdagon tagolt lábazatra támaszkodó, kannelúrás testű és lapos faragású, stilizált akantuszleveles fejezettel ellátott pilaszterek tagolják, az architráv golyvázott széleit egy-egy triglif, középtengelyét reneszánsz címerpajzsba faragott címer díszíti, melyet egy-egy rozetta vesz közre. A kapuzat szemöldökpárkányát az épület valamelyik felújítása alkalmával faraghatták vissza. 2 A keret festett lehetett, az eredeti színezéséből jelenleg csak a bordó színű festék nyomai maradtak fenn.

From this building originate five door frames, three window frames and a fragment of a window frame, pilasters and a console. Six frames are decorated with the BHR-monogram and one with the HB-monogram. The importance of the ensemble lies in the significant number of the carvings, their diversity, the numerous figurative representations of the door frames and the prime quality of the door frame that is decorated with the HB-monogram. This study is trying to complete the history of this building by the identification of the owners, the commissioners and the analysis of the analogies of the carvings.

Although the edifice features many aspects of the stylistic evolution of the architecture of Cluj (it was built in Gothic style, with considerable changes that pertained to the Renaissance and then the Baroque styles), the history of the edifice is almost unknown in the literature of local history. Our study aims to provide a detailed description of the building, to outline the various stages of its construction, and to identify the people who animated its spaces and contributed to the history of the building. Rezumat: Studiul de față este dedicat unui imobil din centrul Clujului, aflat pe latura de sud a străzii Memorandumului de azi. Cu toate că edificiul prezintă numeroase aspecte ale evoluției stilistice a arhitecturii Clujului, fiind construit în stil gotic, cu modificări considerabile în stilul renaşterii şi apoi al barocului, istoricul edificiului este aproape necunoscut în literatura istoriei locale. Studiul nostru vizează descrierea detaliată a edificiului, conturarea diferitelor faze de construire, precum şi identificarea persoanelor care au animat spaţiile acestuia, contribuind la istoricul clădirii. Cuvinte cheie: Cluj, casă de locuit, tipografie, arhitectură gotică, arhitectură renascentistă, arhitectură barocă, aurar This study is dedicated to a house in downtown Cluj, which today stands out from the other buildings due to the pre-modern articulation elements of its main façade. Although the building has a series of structural or decorative elements from the medieval and pre-modern periods, including a drive-through gate marked with an inscription from 1653, a Late Renaissance portal, and a Baroque guild commemorative plaque, the history of the building is almost unknown in the literature of local history. Our study focuses on the detailed description of the building, with a view to presenting its many stylistic aspects, outlining its various phases of construction, and identifying the people who animated its spaces and contributed, in one way or another, to the history of the building.
