Western Romania: Timișoara’s historic building Casa cu Ax de Fier up for sale at EUR 5 mln
<p>Casa cu Ax de Fier, one of Timișoara’s most iconic historic buildings with a history spanning two centuries, is now on the market for EUR 5 million. Recently restored and repurposed into a modern office hub, the building is classified as a grade B historic monument.</p>

<p>The building derives its name from a symbolic feature embedded in its corner: the axle of a heavy artillery carriage. Local legend suggests it belonged to Eugene of Savoy’s war chariot during the 1716 battle that freed Timișoara from Ottoman rule.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Casa cu Ax de Fier first appeared on city maps in 1836, built on the site of the former Round Tower of the bastion, demolished in 1756.</p>

<p>Over the years, the building has served various purposes, from private residences to social spaces, including a soup kitchen during the famine of 1863–1864, cementing its role as a symbol of local solidarity and community.</p>

<p>Casa cu Ax de Fier currently houses a multifunctional office hub where law firms, dental clinics, and IT companies operate. It is 80% leased.</p>
