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.
This wonderful two-storey, Eclectic castle (combining Neo-Baroque and Neo-Renaissance elements) got its today’s form at the end of 1980s. The constructions were commissioned by baron Béla Szentkereszty. The castle is surrounded by a beautiful English park of over nine hectares. The main attraction of the park is the lake, which also houses a small bridge-accessible island.
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.
