Bethlen Castle - Bahnea
Full description
Located 40 km from Târgu Mureș
Bethlen Castle in Bahnea was built in 1545 by Bethlen Farkas and was later transformed by Bethlen Elek senior and junior, between 1679 and 1719. On this occasion, they fortified the building with a stone wall, an octagonal bastion tower and a gate tower at the four corners. The exterior of the castle belongs to the romantic style, while the carpentry of the castle is reminiscent of the Neo-Renaissance and Romantic style. The building has 42 rooms, arranged on three levels - basement, ground floor and first floor. During communism, the castle housed various public institutions, and after the change of regime in 1989, the condition of the castle deteriorated continuously. In 2008, the castle was returned to the heirs of the Bethlen family, who later donated it to the Reformed Church in Bahnea.
