History
Count Blomberg, a senior general in the Habsburg army, received a large estate along the Someș from Emperor Joseph II. Construction began around 1780 and is variously dated to 1820 or 1821. Romanian Wikipedia states that the property was returned to Blomberg descendants in 2011 and sold in 2015, without naming the buyer. The estate now covers about 4.5 ha with over 4,000 m² of buildings, and includes a Ginkgo biloba over 200 years old, listed as a natural monument.
