The City Hall (once County Hall) was built between 1895-1896 in eclectic style, following the plans of the architect Ottó Stehlo. The merit of the interior architecture is the assembly hall, situated in the end of the closed interior yard. On its place stood the County Hall of Udvarhely region.
The Szekler-Attacked Castle (Ruined castle, Udvarhely castle, Bridle castle) is situated in the immediate neighborhood of the city center, Tompa Laszló street 12. The first initiator of the building was István Báthory, prince of Transylvania, who tried to turn the old Dominican, and later Franciscan monastery (1490-1492) into a fortress. At last, prince János Zsigmond, after the suprimation of the rebellion of the Szekler common people (in 1562), ordered the building of the castle, with several bastions in Italian style, required at the fortresses of the time. After the battle of Sellemberk (1599), the rebuildind the ruined fortress was decided in 1600. 1706 is the year when the fortress was finally ruined, from this date it is carries the name of Ruined castle.
The Reformed Church was built between 1780-1781, on the ruins of the old Saint Ann Chapel. Its builder was Gergely Kis of Baczkamadaras (1737-1787), rector and professor in the reformed Collage. The building gathers the characters of Classicism and late protestant Baroque.
