Pekry-Radák Castle - Ozd
Full description
Located 72 km from Târgu Mureș and 20 km from Luduș.
The first thing that greets the traveler when arriving to the village of Ozd is Pekry-Radák Castle, a rectangular castle with bastions in the corners, built in Renaissance style with Baroque (and Gothic) elements, located on a ridge above the village.
Although the castle was extended during the Baroque period (after 1725), it has remained a Renaissance castle due to its character. In terms of size, it is a castle built on 2 levels with smaller or larger rooms (13 per level). Kata Szidónia Petrőczy (1662‐1708), the wife of Pekri Lőrinc, lived here almost 400 years ago.
