Next to the reformed church, in the old parish building, built in the 17th century. the Misztótfalusi Kis István memorial museum (1650-1702) was opened in 1991, the famous son of the locality, who dedicated his whole life to the printing of books. After the elementary schools completed here, he continued his studies at Baia Mare and Aiud. After completing his studies he obtained a rector's post at Fagaras, but he was attracted to the printing industry. In 1680 at the age of 30 he went to Amsterdam to learn from the most famous craftsmen the art and printing technique.
Between 1684-1686 he managed to print the corrected copy of the Hungarian Bible, the Aurita Bible. He was serious, pouring the letters, and he was also the young man. The type of letters, font Janson, used today, comes from his letter collection. It is also possible to buy the Totfalusi font. He is the editor of the first cookbook, but among other things he made the first Georgian alphabet printed. In a short time he became the most famous engraver and typographer in Amsterdam. Receiving more and more orders from abroad. At the age of forty, he returns home and picks up the Cluj printing house. In his plans there is also a paper mill, but with the printing of the volume Apologia Bibliorum, both the reformed priests and most of the teachers turn against him. People could not afford to buy books and more and more enemies. Breath in body and soul dies in 1702, in Cluj.
