Sükösd-Bethlen Castle, Renaissance castle in Racoș, Romania.
The castle features a rectangular layout with four circular towers at each corner and a prominent entrance tower on its southern side.
Built between 1594 and 1603 by Sükösd István from a Szekler family, the castle later expanded under Count Bethlen Samuel in the late 17th century.
The entrance displays the Bethlen family coat of arms with a crowned snake, representing the noble heritage of Transylvanian aristocracy.
Visitors can purchase tickets for 20 lei for adults and 10 lei for children over 6 years to explore the castle grounds.
The castle contains an unusual architectural element: a large kitchen hood constructed at the top of one corner tower.
