Sükösd-Bethlen Castle, Renaissance castle in Racoș, Romania.

Sükösd-Bethlen Castle is a Renaissance residence in Racoș with a rectangular core and four circular corner towers that give it a fortified appearance. The main entrance is marked by a prominent tower on the southern facade, making it the primary access point to the building.

The castle was built in the 17th century by the Sükösd family, specifically Captain Sükösd György, initially as a fortress. In 1631 it passed to Ferenc Bethlen and his family. Its present form results from alterations carried out by Sámuel Bethlen. During the communist period it was used as a stable and grain store and partly demolished to allow machinery access.

The council hall on the upper floor holds the carved coat of arms of the builder count and his wife, Nagy Borbála. Its richly carved door with a stone frame likely dates from Bethlen Sámuel's rebuilding. The hall's ceiling is the only place in the castle with half-relief sculpture.

Visitors can explore the grounds on their own schedule, with the exterior layout and towers best viewed from the outside to understand the building's full shape. Wearing sturdy shoes is advisable since the terrain around the site can be uneven and mixed with grass and older pathways.
