Located in the old town of Cluj-Napoca, this palace served as the residence of the Rhédey family, a noble lineage with ancestral ties to the British royal family. Visitors go here to view the aristocratic architecture of the Transylvanian region and explore the historical connection between the local nobility and European royalty.
