Bethlen-Haller Castle was built in Renaissance style by the father of Transylvania's chancellor, Miklos Bethlen, between 1560 - 1624. Having four towers located in the four corners, the castle was built according to the model of those in the Loire Valley. It was intended as a hunting and leisure castle, not as a defensive residence, therefore the attestation in the documents of the time is quite poor. Over time, the castle went through numerous transformations: the construction of the current building was completed in 1624, and between 1769-1773, the castle was remodeled in Baroque style.
