Wesselenyi castle in Jibou, Historic monument in Jibou, Romania.
The Wesselenyi Castle stands as a baroque palace complex with stone walls, large windows, and a central courtyard at Wesselenyi Miklos Street 18.
Construction of the palace began in 1779 under Wesselenyi Miklos and Cserei Ilona, reaching completion in 1796 after delays due to political imprisonment.
Franz Neuhauser from Sibiu decorated the interior walls with hunting scenes in 1805, adding artistic value to the architectural ensemble.
The castle functions as an educational facility, containing classrooms and recreational spaces, while the surrounding grounds serve as a botanical garden.
Stone lions from Jósika Miklos' palace in Surduc were moved to the castle gardens during the 1970s, becoming permanent features of the grounds.
