One of the Best Places To Visits in Bonțida Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. Not much to see. You must pay entrance fee A let down place. No interest to converse about the history of the place. The people of the castle, so to say, seemed more interested in taking about organising events. We could not approach anybody to spare some thoughts about the history of the place. A little underwhelming, probably because it's being renovated at the moment. The history ilof the place is wonderful, but it's kinda lost. Hopefully they will be able to restore it to it's former glory! Domeniul este impresionant, din păcate mai este mult de renovat. Admir pe cei care au început acest proces de renovare. Lovely ruins with a beautiful pond, lots of space, green grass, ideal for a picnic...you can also visit an art gallery and some of the remains of the castle. The admission fee is 10ron..around 2e. It is situated 30km away from Cluj...a 35min car ride This place has so much potential! There are some renovations done and I'm looking forward to seeing what they do in the future. Even at the moment it has the power to transport you back in time. Another of Banffy family. It's partially renewed after having been left abandoned. It's a jewelry and the municipality should find the funds to completely renew it as a historical monument. It's worth a visit, you can walk through the park, and find out about this noble family who lived there during the past centuries. A very pleasant surprise! We were passing by and since we have never been here, we thought to make a quick stop. We enjoyed it a lot! It is in renovation, but we liked a lot the new and old combination, the industrial feel on certain areas and the way it is all presented (there were places where we felt like we were at Architecture Biennale - which is saying a lot!). That's a really sad what people did with that kind of places not too fare ago. Theirs expectations from Soviet new way after W2W were really unpredictable and as always new red government were thief's, and stolen theirs people again from develop of country through gray communism period. Unfortunately everywhere on eastern europe are a lot of similar places. For 5 days a year it is the venue for Electric but for the rest of the year it's a very quiet escape from the city. 10 lei (~2€) entrance fee and you can read materials about the history of the place all around the and the yard. Partially refurbished but it's an ongoing process. Great work so far Impresionat locul. Este in plin proces de restaurare dar este frumos chiar și așa. Beautiful place, great for a coffee and for a piknic 💙💚💜lovely restaurated and the art caffee is such a great gem. I loved it. It is in quite a poor condition indeed but I`d still recommend visiting it. This is where the Electric Festival is held in Bontida. The has been renovated over the years by numerous organizations after a long period of deterioration. It is looking better month after month as folks volunteer their time to reconstruct it to its original form. Impresionantă munca depusă pentru renovarea castelului. Merită văzut. Accesul este ușor, drumul e bun. Bilete adulți 15 lei. Ar fi interesant de știut și viața locuitorilor din zonă și cum au "contribuit" ei la bogăția celor care au deținut Bonțida. Sunt sigur că unele lucruri nu sunt afișate sau spuse pentru că nu convin celor ce dețin sau se folosesc în prezent de castel. The is still under renovation but it's worth getting a short walk around, visit some parts of the place and get an idea of what it used to be in its glory. A very beautiful place, best time to visit is during the third week of July when Electric takes place, best music festival in Romania. Maybe stop off if passing but very underwhelming. Looks like a building site in general though some internal rooms are plesant to see. This stunning complex is getting little by little uplifted and brought back to life thanks to Electric festival. If you like electro and dance music, check it out, or, simply pop by and pay a visit, as even though it has a long way to go, it is still soooooo impressive It's a decent place to spend 2 hours if it's sunny, but other than that I can't say I was amazed by it. Good place to take pictures inside for special occasions like weddings. Hopefully they will restructure the place and give it a little (well deserved) shine A beautiful that lasted centuries only to be left to rot by the Communists and be left to crumble. 50 years of comunism turned this gorgeous into crumble. It is now being renovated now, thanks to European funds. ❤️ 🙏 The place is definitely advised for visiting. The building is in pretty good shape, even though they're doing some renovations right now. The area is quite large, with a pond and places to relax outdoors. There's also an indoor cafe where you can buy ice cream, coffee, and other things. They really take care of the grounds here. At the entrance, there's a ticket office where you can buy tickets and explore the building. You can also go inside to see some interesting historical exhibits.
