Daniel Castle from Vârghiș together with its beautiful dendrological park is one of the most well-known monument buildings in the region of Baraolt. The castle park hosts rare tree and shrub species. The castle building, defined by its late Renaissance sculptures, Baroque ornaments and Classicist extensions, is unique in Transilvania, thus it has been popular not only among art historians but also among tourists. The castle can be visited upon request.

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.
