Bornemissza castle in Gurghiu, Historic castle in Gurghiu, Romania.

The Bornemissza Castle features a baroque architectural style with a prominent clock tower and chapel within its stone walls and grand structure.

Prince Rákóczi György I began the castle construction, and between 1718 and 1734, Bornemissza János completed the renovation using materials from nearby ruins.

The castle transformed into a Hunting Museum in 1970, displaying the trophies of Teleki Sámuel alongside a specialized library collection.

The castle belongs to the Mureș County Council and functions as an educational center with forest management programs and museum exhibitions.

The surrounding dendrological park spans 10 hectares and contains over 350 plant species, including 130 exotic trees planted during the 1820s renovation.
