600-year-old Hungarian castle beautifully renewed – PHOTO GALLERY

Before the work started, archaeologists found 700-year-old coins in the buildings. Now, the building looks astonishing. The owner would like to build even tennis courts and a football pitch in the garden to organise camps there. But you can already rent a room, the prices are not high, and you can even rent the entire Hungarian castle in the heart of Transylvania for events.

600-year-old Hungarian castle with 700-year-old coins in Transylvania

According to Székelyhon, a Transylvanian Hungarian news outlet, the Ugron Castle in Fiatfalva has two owners now: Éva Ugron and Miklós Maróty. They have been fighting for the castle for two decades and were successful thanks to the support of the Hungarian government. Based on the news outlet’s report on the inauguration, the Ugron Castle is one of the most beautiful buildings in the region.

Built by Miklós Mikó in 1817 in the Late Baroque style, later, the Ugron family seized the castle and carried out modifications. However, the castle’s history starts in the 1500s when the mansion of the Geréb Family stood in its place hundreds of years ago. That is why archaeologists found some 16th-century coins inside before the renovation started.

In 1949, the Romanian Communists nationalised the castle, so its state began to deteriorate quickly. The former owners could gain ownership after the fall of Romanian communism in 1990. The family did not have money to renew the castle, so they sold it to Miklós Maróty and Éva Ugron, a descendant of the historic Transylvanian Hungarian family.

The Hungarian government helped

Maróti reconstructed the roof using her money. However, she could not continue the work due to her lack of financial background. In 2019, they won an application and received Hungarian state support to make the plans for reconstruction. In 2021, they received more money to carry out the work.

The owners said they got lots of support from the locals and felt even ordinary folks regarded it as vital to get back the original castle. They have four kids, and it is heartwarming for them that their great-grandparents could play in the castle garden just as their kids will soon. They added that they would like to build tennis courts and a football pitch in the garden and organise camps there.

You can rent even the entire castle

Now you can spend your holiday in the castle even with your family and friends. They have three rentable rooms: the Granarium, the Domini, and the Palladis. The cost starts from EUR 75/person/night and includes breakfast. HERE are the details.

However, you can rent the entire castle for one or more nights. “The newly reconstructed castle can be rented in its entirety, and with the numerous activities offered and with its historical past, it is an ideal choice for a 3-5 day stay for 20-34 people”, they wrote on their website.
