Cluj-Napoca Hintz House

The two-story stone building features a classicist facade from the 1820s and Renaissance-era ground floor with detailed architectural elements throughout the structure.

Established in 1573 as Cluj's first pharmacy, the building changed ownership multiple times before the Hintz family acquired it in 1851 and named it Saint George's Pharmacy.

The interior contains a Hungarian language fresco from 1752 depicting pharmaceutical history, alongside Empire-style furniture and historical medical instruments from different periods.

Located at Piața Unirii 28, the Pharmaceutical Museum displays collections across four main rooms and a basement, presenting tools from the 17th to 19th centuries.

The preserved layout includes original office frescos with pharmaceutical symbols, plus a laboratory containing mortars, scales, and wooden pharmaceutical items from throughout Transylvania.
