It was in the garden of this beautiful castle, where baron János Kemény together with the most famous writers and poets of the time, founded the well-known literary community from Transylvania called Helikon in 1926. The castle is open for visitors daily between 10:00 – 18:00. Upon request, the owners of the castle offer guidance in several languages.
