Abstract

Among the few examples of Neoclassical architecture in Transylvania, József Weixelbraun’s works are important in the region’s heritage. Regrettably, his most ambitious designs, such as the Toldalagi mansion in Corunca and his house in Cluj, are either unknown or poorly preserved, which does not do justice to this talented but unfortunate architect. His promising career was adversely affected by a failed sugar factory project.
