The Merbl Palace was built in 1911, in the Secession style with Baroque elements, according to the plans of Arnold Merbl,[2] the builder of the Lloyd Palace in the same square.[3] The Neuhaus Palace alternates between the two. Merbl was an important builder from Timișoara, his company Arnold Merbl & Co. being also known outside the city. He also contributed to the construction of the Piarist complex between 1904 and 1908.[4]
The three-story building has a corner tower facing the side street. During the communist period, the ground floor of the building housed the Mihai Eminescu Bookstore, the largest bookstore in the city.[4]
