Kemény Castle in Brâncovenești, Mureș, Renaissance castle in Brâncovenești, Romania
The castle features a square design with a central courtyard, four corner towers, Renaissance window frames, and a stone balcony above the entrance.
The first documents mentioning the castle date from 1228 when it was known as castrum Wecheu, transferring ownership from Simon Kacsics to Denis Tomaj.
The castle hosted annual meetings for writers of the Erdélyi Helikon literary group during the summer months of 1926 and subsequent years.
The castle reopened to the public in November 2014 after returning to the Kemény family following 70 years of state ownership.
The builders incorporated materials from a Roman fort named Ala Nova Illiricorum, whose artifacts remain visible in the former castle orchard.
