Formerly known as the Transylvanian Versailles, the Bánffy Castle from Bonțida was gradually built from the XVIth century and won its final form in the middle of the XIXth century. Today, the property is administrated by the Transylvania Trust Foundation. The castle can be visited on a permanent basis; an Art Café and accommodation sites are already functioning on the estate, educational, cultural and community functions are also performed.
The beautifully restored castle functions as a museum. Visitors can find bedrooms and salons furnished according to the 19th-century style. In three rooms they can observe characteristics of the 17th and 19th century lifestyles and in the bastion's ground floor they can see panels containing the history and the renovation works of the castle, as well as archaeological findings. There is a café and wine cellar in the basement of the castle, where the atmosphere is enhanced by the reconstruction of an 18th century kitchen.
The Urmánczy Castle was built between 1903 and 1906 on a plateau of the Mureș River. It was built on the request of Jeromos Urmánczy, an Armenian landowner, and the building's architect was Virgilio Giacomuzzi, a Tyrolean architect. The style of the building combining the elements of the Art Nouveau with the features of the folk architecture related to the name of Kós Károly, is unique in the Transylvanian castle architecture. Currently, the castle does not have a function, but it can be visited upon request.
