Kendeffy Castle, 18th-century château in Sântămăria-Orlea, Romania
The rectangular structure of Kendeffy Castle contains three distinct sections and features a monumental tower with decorative Baroque elements on its main facade.
Count Elek Kendeffy commissioned the construction of this castle in 1782, establishing it as one of three major residences owned by the noble family in Hunedoara County.
The main entrance displays a Baroque plate created by Cluj sculptor József Hoffmayer, incorporating the coat of arms of both Kendeffy and Bethlen families.
The castle operates as a hotel under local administration and visitors can reach it by following the national road from Simeria through Sântămăria-Orlea.
In 1874, landscape architect Wilhelm Klensky designed an English garden around the castle, incorporating decorative vessels and statues throughout the grounds.
