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.
On the ground floor of the recently renovated castle, there are the offices of the National Touristic Information and Promotion Center, and on the first floor, there are exhibition rooms. At the moment, there are photo and mock-up exhibitions of Transylvanian castles, and a separate exhibition room commemorating the flooded village during Communism, Bezidu Nou. In the future, the building will host a museum dedicated to the memory of Clauda Rhédey, and in the basement, a wine cellar representing the Region of the Carpathians will function.
