Castele
  • Based on the structure and few ornamental architectural features, it can be said that the actual manor house was built in the first half of the 19th century. The construction and the furnishing of the building can be linked back to Albert Petrichevich-Horváth who thanks to his loyalty to the Habsburg Court made a great career in the 1840–60s.

  • Unfortunately, data about the history of the origins of the Pogány-castle are very incomplete. The building without outstanding artistic values, has been neglected by the art historians. It is only presumed, that this property belonged to the Pogány family from Clopotiva in the 19th century, especially Pogány György, and his son, Pogány Károly can be assumed to have had close connections to this castle.

  • In place of Rhédey Castle once stood an abbey, church and monastery re-enforced with turrets. In 1569, the Kornis family commissioned the construction of a castle on the ruins. The first iteration of Rhédey Castle was built by masters from Târgu Mureș/Marosvásárhely in the second half of the 18th century, using materials from the remains of Kornis Castle.

  • The building, situated in a large parc, was built probably in the 18th century, the Baroque architectural elements indicate this period.

Since the nationalization the manor house has been functioning as a care home for old people.

  • The wooden balks holding the ceiling with stucco decorations have rotten away, therefore they had to be replaced by copies. Above the portico there used to be a Baroque-style gable, which has collapsed, therefore a copy of it can be seen today. The façade is also decorated with stuccos.
