Summary
A Transylvanian Baroque manor built in 1756 by István Wesselényi and Polixenia Daniel, later a Teleki property. Owned by Bistrița-Năsăud County Council and long in advanced degradation, it has been under EU-funded restoration since November 2024, with completion planned for end of 2028.
Legal status
Nationalised 1951; county property since 2008; entered in county public domain (2017 decision) ↗
History
According to a facade inscription, István Wesselényi built the manor in 1756; he had married Polixenia Daniel of Vârghiș in 1742. The two families' coats of arms were carved in 1786 by Anton Schuchbauer. Renaissance-type vaults in the cellar suggest an earlier 17th-century phase. In the 19th century it passed to the Teleki family and was nationalised in 1951. After 1989 it came under the county council; by 2008 it was county property, but without funds for rehabilitation. It was offered for sale in 2015 at 110,000 EUR without success, and in 2017 the council approved entering it in the county public domain. The 18th-century structure partly collapsed into the cellars and the grounds were neglected. Restoration funded under the North-West Regional Programme 2021-2027 began in November 2024; archaeologists found traces of an Early Iron Age settlement in 2025.
