Kemény-Bánffy castle in Luncani, Cluj, Historic monument in Luncani, Romania

The Kemény-Bánffy Castle stands as a Baroque structure with 44 rooms located near the Protestant church and the Aranyos river.

The first documented mention of the castle dates to 1268 when the Gerendi family owned it, followed by Turkish invasion in 1597.
