The building (which hosts the „Regina Maria” Arts High School today) was built between 1900 and 1901. Initially a Hungarian civil school, the edifice was taken over by the Romanian state right after the Union of Transylvania with Romania (1918).

Then, the place hosted the first state high school established in Transylvania since the Unification of 1918. The educational institution was named „Michael the Brave” and functioned here until 1940, when the new edifice on the western side of the fortress went into use and which still exists, but under the name of the National College „Horea, Cloşca and Crişan”.

Subsequently, the building in the Lower Town hosted the General School no.1 and then the High School of Music and Fine Arts was founded here (1990). The institution was named „Queen Marie” on 15 October 2013, on the occasion of the celebration of 91 years since the crowning of King Ferdinand I and Queen Marie as monarchs of united Romania.
