Teleki Castle

The 18th century built Teleki Castle and surrounding park are classified, under Romanian law, as cultural heritage of national and universal interest. It is a baroque castle, unique of its own kind in Romania and covers 2400 m2 on two floors. The Castle is surrounded by a 6 hectares-wide, originally English-style park, home to centuries-old trees – some of them very rare in Romania – and 18th century baroque sculptures. The Teleki Castle was a family residence for around one century until it was nationalised in 1949, following which it has been used as a home for children during the communist regime and up to 2011. In 2011, it has been returned to the family and is now open to visitors (except in winter).
