The history of the ensemble of buildings in Voivodeni, known under the name of Zichy Manor, is unknown, but its stylistic features suggest that we are dealing with a complex of edifices built in the 18th century or the first decades of the 19th century. Kata, the daughter of Kemény Sámuel (deceased in 1817), became Kun József's wife, and the niece Jozefina Vilma married Zichy István in 1880: thus, at the end of the 19th century, the manor became the property of the Zichy family. The main façade of the building has a rectangular planimetry and contains a single level, being extended on the narrower side with a smaller side. The building has an attic roof, built in Baroque style.
