Năsăud is located in northern Transylvania on the Great Somesch River , about 20 km north of the district capital Bistrița ( Bistritz ).

history

The name Năsăud probably comes from the Slavic “nas voda”, meaning “near the water”. Another name is Nussdorf ("walnut tree village"), the Transylvanian-Saxon name of the city in the Middle Ages.

Năsăud was a Habsburg border town.

Năsăud was an industrial town from the 20th century, both during the communist era and after the 1989 revolution.

Some buildings from the late 18th and early 19th centuries still stand in Năsăud. Noteworthy in this context are the Greek Catholic Church and the former military headquarters of the Habsburg era, now a museum.
