Kemény Castle - Brâncovenești

 Located 38 km from Târgu Mureş and 11 km from Reghin, in the direction of Deda.

The settlement was owned by the Kemény family for three hundred years. The two-storey building, with bastions at the four corners, received its current shape during the reconstructions between 1537 and 1557, and in 1818 it acquired the late Baroque look, which is reflected faithfully to this day. The building played a significant cultural role in the interwar period. At the initiative of Count János Kemény, in 1926, on the occasion of the founding of the Transylvanian cultural association "Helikon", 28 of the most prominent Hungarian literary figures of the time were invited to the castle. From this moment, for 20 years, the castle became the center of the literary meetings of the Hungarian writers from Transylvania. The park offers the final resting place for former Count János Kemény and writer Albert Wass.
World War II did not cause much damage to the castle, but after the family left the area, the population completely devastated the building, and after 1949 it became a hospice for children with severe mental disabilities.
Since 2014, the castle has once again become the property of the Kemény family, who opened it to the public.
