The Malancrav village is certified since 1305, and its history is linked to the Apafi noble family, whose mansion can be admired after being restored by the Prince Charles Foundation. Malâncrav became the home of the Apafi family. Here were buried Apafi Mihaly I and wife Bornemissza Anna and Apafi Mihaly II, but in 1916 they were exhumed and buried in Cluj in the church on Farkas street. In 1848 the rebellious peasants destroyed the princely buildings. At that time only the mansion, the church, and another building were made of stone. The inhabitants began to build their stone houses after their release from serfdom. Around 1900, the Haller and Ugron families still had important mansions in the locality, but in 1918 the Haller family sold its estate to the local community.
