Main Manor

After the medieval dungeon and the 14th-15th century moat manor the family built this larger castle in the 16th century, which was repeatedly damaged and changed until the turn of the 19th century when it received its classicist looks. Current restoration phase: Archaeology and research: Wall paintings as well as carved and painted wooden ceilings have been discovered in 2001. The roof has been consolidated in 2002. The alley of centenarian horse-chestnut trees has been mended and first archaeological digs have taken place in 2003 and 2004, unearthing beautiful tiles of renaissance stoves. In 2005 the original cellars under the guest-wing have been dug out.

Family Crypt

Late gothic carved stone doorframe, which was most probably re-used and decorated with renaissance elements in 1685. The Crypt was robbed in the 1970s. The thief was stopped by the villagers and the stolen items were confiscated by the "Securitate". Since then, all objects have disappeared from the "Securitate", too. We are now asking the authorities for explanations. Current restauration phase: Roof insulation

Small Manor
