Jósika Castle, Historic castle in Surduc, Romania.

The one-story castle exhibits simple architecture with two bastions emphasizing the main facades and a round bastion that formerly served as the entrance.

The castle endured damage during the 1848 revolution, leading to reconstruction efforts in the final third of the nineteenth century.

Hungarian writer Miklós Jósika, founder of the Hungarian romantic novel, created his historical work 'Abafi' while residing at the castle from 1834 to 1853.

The castle stands on the left bank of the Someș River, accessible through local transport networks, and currently operates as a storage facility for private companies.

The structure incorporates stones from the Roman castra of Tihău and once featured a park with fountains and a statue of Maria Theresa.
