Map of Sibiu: The Kariatidas House
In 1781 when Austrian emperor Jozsef II. gave way to other nations to come toSibiu, many Hungarian nobles bought or built houses here. Widow Mrs. Gergely Bethlen built a house on the place of Sebastian Hahn's silversmiths building in 1786, in baroque style. This house was named Kariatidas house. The wrought-iron balcony banister is held by two giant caryatids which probably was made in Simon Hoffmayer's workshop.
