Kálnoky Castle of Miklósvár is glorious again

Sokszinuvidek.24.hu reports that the building in which a museum has been established was opened to the public last weekend.

Kálnoky Castle of Miklósvár was built in 1648 on the foundation of another building. Through the years the Kálnoky family has got it reconstructed several times, but not only for enlargement – an earthquake and fire also made them necessary. The castle is unique among the castles in Szekler Land with its Late Renaissance outside ornaments.

The Kálnoky family has been owner of Miklósvár since the 16th century. The castle built in 1648 was the property of the family until the death of Count Dénes Kálnoky, after which his niece Ferenc Seethal inherited the estate. It was bought by Eugen Savu in 1939, who lost it during the deprivatization.

Count Tibor Kálnoky – renovator of the castle and founder of the museum – did not manage to get back the inheritance of his family, thus he rented the estate with the building from the local government of Barót in the long run.
