Kornis Castle, Renaissance castle in Mănăstirea, Romania.
The castle rises on a terrace near the Someş river, featuring a main building with two octagonal bastions on its northern side and an entrance tower.
Built between 1573 and 1593 by Kristóf Keresztúri, the castle transferred to the Kornis family in 1673 through marriage and underwent substantial modifications.
The castle interior contained frescoed ceilings, wooden frameworks decorated with folk motifs, and a library of 9000 volumes before its nationalization.
The castle remains accessible to visitors as it lacks enclosing fences, with its pavilions now serving as a silo, hostel, and cultural school.
Two stone unicorn statues guarded the castle entrance until their removal following an attempted burglary, giving the structure its alternative name.
