The history of the house in detail is unknown but the prescense of a vaulted celler in the basement indicate the original structure was built by the Saxons during the prosperous years of  Maria Therese.  The upper part of  the house was probably rebuilt a 100 years later as it has a unique style reminiscent of  the architecture of the time.  Consequently the house stands proud on the street frontage distinguishing itself from it older neighbours.   The Citadel is the last real living Citadel in the world.  The neighbours are traditional Romanian and Saxon families whihc have been living in the Citadel for generations.  The last resident was  a clock maker (explains the numerous clocks on the walls) with his workshop being in the loft level.

The house has recently been restored in keeping as much as possible with the original character.
