The Cserey-Fischer Manor House is located behind the Protestant Church from Tăşnad. The manor was built in Baroque style in the second half of the 18th century (1771). The mansion was restored and it was classified as a historical monument. Today it hosts the Municipal Museum.
The left wing of the Csernovics Castle with its two towers was built in the first half of the 19th century with the utilization of a building remained from the 18th century. The right wing was built between 1862 and 1886, based on the plans of Miklós Ybl. In 1862 the castle became the property of the Károlyi family. In the garden original greenhouses and swimming pools can be found.
The free-standing, single-storey building with an “L”-shaped ground plan is defined by a portico with tympanum, located on the main facade of the building. This portico is supported by columns with plinth and capital and can be accessed trough wide stairs. The large, glazed main entrance and large windows located on both sides are semi-circular arched. The sides of the portico also contains large, glazed windows. The interior of the building contains a large hunting room.
The mansion is situated in the center of the village, it is in good condition, and it hosts the local council and the mayor’s office.
The mansion was built in the center of the estate, its courtyard has been transformed into a nice park at the turn of the 20th century, but it was destroyed almost totally after its nationalization. The park’s successful restoration started again after the 1970s. At the right corner of the house, there is a famous linden tree, which was said to be planted in 1882 in the presence and in honour of the great Hungarian writer, Jókai Mór.
The mansion is situated across the Damokos-Cseh Mansion House. On the same site, closer to the main road and parallel to the stone fence, there used to be another mansion house. Many carved stone elements of this old house were used to build the new mansion house.
Damokos János and his wife Bartha Mária built the mansion. There used to be another mansion house earlier, which was made of stones and bricks. This old house was severely damaged by the frequent earthquakes; therefore a new wooden-house was built on the old foundations dating back to the 17-18th century. A few old carved stone monuments were kept and reused in the new mansion.
The mansion has empire-classicist style, and was built by Damokos Ferenc. It became the property of the Eperjessy family through marriage between the members of the two families. Later the mansion was sold to the Bartók family.
The main building from the hilltop, as well as the complex stretching along the left side of the yard, comprised of farm-buildings and servants’ quarters, are all the result of constructions during the second half of the 19th century. The well-positioned, pillared, neoclassicist building with tympana has not undergone any modifications. They later sold it to two saxon siblings, who have since established a guest-house in the main building, as well as a restaurant and a wine cellar in the out-houses.
Like the other buildings of the nobiliary from Erdővidék/Baraolt, this castle was also constructed in the late-renaissance style, and was later extended with a classicist wing during the 19th century. Several valuable late-renaissance stone carvings can be found embedded into the walls of the building.
The castle is located on the land of the Daniel family’s lower mansion. The building is one of Erdővidék/Baraolt’s most spectacular listed buildings, due to its late renaissance carvings, its baroque ornaments and its classicist extensions.
The manor house has gained its today's form after several reconstructions.
The construction of the first castle in Cuci/Kutyfalva, was commissioned by count Pekry Lőrinc, a general of the Kuruc rebels, and his wife, baroness Kata Szidónia, who was the first Hungarian woman to become a poet in the baroque age. The stones of this castle were most probably used in the construction of the first Degenfeld Castle in the 19th century, though it was more of a mansion at the time.
Until the autumn of 2006, that is, until the moment of the property’s restitution, the building served as the Hodod Primary School, which was subsequently moved to a new building. During the summer of 2006, even before the building was given over, the owner had partly repaired the roofing and changed the water ducts as well, but could not finalize the repairs and so water is leaking into the building in several places, even today.
A 1931 photograph taken by Gönczi Ferenc shows that the small gate at the entrance of the estate once featured a baroque frontispiece. The manor was constructed from stone and brick. The main section of the building is divided by the protruding vaulted porch in the centre of the main facade, which features a trefoil gable.
The castle has a second wall in front of its south-eastern wall. The entire building is surrounded by a water-filled moat (circa 15 m wide, 4 m deep). The original entrance of the castle was situated on the north-eastern side, ruined today.
