Bonțida Bánffy Castle, Baroque castle in Bonțida, Romania
The castle complex encompasses a main structure with Renaissance doors, strong stone walls, and a defensive tower at its entrance point.
King Sigismund of Luxembourg granted the estate to the Bánffy family in 1387, leading to the construction of the initial L-shaped fortress.
The Transylvania Trust Foundation manages preservation projects at the castle while supporting educational programs about regional architectural heritage.
Visitors can access the castle grounds and restored sections daily between 10:00 and 18:00, with guided tours providing detailed historical information.
The castle grounds feature symmetrical alleys, extended terraces, and an English-style garden with a lake adjacent to the main structure.
