The History Museum of the City and County of Brasov was founded in 1950 and is located in the former Municipal House in the centre of Piata (Square) Sfatului or, to some extent, in the Bastion Tesatorilor in Brasov (Kronstadt). The bastion, defended and maintained by the Linen Weavers’ Guild, was built in two stages between 1421 – 1436 and 1570 – 1573.
