Castelul Mercy din Carani, Historic castle in Carani, Romania.
The rectangular castle stands with two floors, featuring thick walls constructed from bricks and stone during the Habsburg Empire period.
Italian and Spanish colonists built the castle between 1733 and 1734 under the direction of Baron Engelshofen to honor Count Claudius Florimund Mercy.
The castle marks the location where Italian and Spanish settlers established the largest foreign community in the Banat region during the 18th century.
The castle remains inaccessible to visitors as it is located on private property and surrounded by a fence with dense vegetation.
Despite its intended purpose as Count Mercy's residence, he never lived in the castle as he died in 1734, the same year of its completion.
