Hirscher House

Hirscher House is now in the city’s centre like a proof of the important commercial role played by Brasov. It was built in 1545 and considered to be out of pattern for that period functioned as a commercial centre for the guilds from Brasov. And because the city of Brasov is a city of legend, many legends speak also about Hirscher House.

One of these legends say that the widow of the last mayor Lukas Hirscher donated 8000 guldens for the construction of this bazar or commercial centre in the memory of her husband. Another legend speaks about a tragic moment when her daughter apparently died. It is said that together with the girl were also buried a lot of jewellery, which of course caught the thieves attention. The thieves came and wanted to robe the dead after passing away. But when they wanted to cut off one of her finger for a shiny ring the girl woke up. This would be another reason according to the legend for Apollonia Hirscher building the house, celebrating the return of her daughter in the living world. As a reminder of this legend on the fronton stays a fresco illustrating the widow together with her daughter. Anyway the story is not far from nowadays reality, when these kinds of robberies happen on day light. This house was also known under two other names, the Merchants House and the Fighters House. And like any other name which transforms over time the Hirscher House became Sweet Gap (Gaura dulce) and later Carpathian Deer (Cerbul Carpatin). For the more nostalgically of you we should mention about „Sweet Gap”. You surely remember the greatest tuzlama around this area of the country served only at Sweet Gap. Today a restaurant and Corona Galleries wait you in the legendary Hirscher House.
