Historical monument located in the old center of Bistrita, Dornei street no. 5, near the Sugatele ensemble, is a representative construction of 16th-century architecture, being one of the most illustrious examples of the type of dwelling of the Bistritan patrician now reaching its maximum flowering. The name "Silverer's House" comes from the two cups carved in the arch of the downstairs window. These cups, of different types, were the symbol of the goldsmith's guild, a highly developed craft in mediaeval Bistrita. The building belonged to the guild or a goldsmith craftsman, being a typical home with ground floor workshops and upstairs living rooms. The Silver House, preserving t...he original Renaissance elements, remains one of the most beautiful medieval buildings in Bistrita. After a recent restoration, here there is the German Centre with library, exhibition halls and tourist information centre.
