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.
Today this fantastic monument building and its peaceful surroundings host a modern, luxury hotel. Each room has its original design based on a specific theme - some of them are decorated by the original Renaissance mural paintings, antique furniture and fireplaces. The style of the hotel combines perfectly the atmosphere of old, noble times with the latest interior design trends that assure its elegance and comfort. The castle hotel provides an excellent location for relaxation and active recreation for the entire family.
