    Lovely in the spring, summer, autumn or winter! Might be visited on a quiet weekend or on a festival period. Any option you choose, you win!

    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

    The castle is nice but it cannot be visited inside to see the rooms and how people lived there. It is like a simple park as you can visit only the backyard and see the buildings only from outside.

    A nice castle. Currently, it's in renovation, so there's not much to visit here. The shape of the yard looks, however, like the Versailles. Bonus: bicycles can be rented here.

    Nicely renovated, very informational and clean. After visiting the castle, you can relax in the cafeteria and purchase books with in depth information about the Banffy Castle and Family. The medieval build is very impressive to this day, and a look back into the 16th century. ✨️

    It was nice and pleasant...and I felt good 😊anyone can come to relax and enjoy the surroundings too.

  • 1/5 Denisa N. 4 months ago on Google
    Very sad. There is nothing to see really, it's just a castle that's in bad condition. There is an entry fee of 10 lei, witch to me seems a little much for what you get to see. You can take cool photo's, that's all.

  • 5/5 A V. 7 months ago on Google
    Interesting piece of history and architecture. Entrance fee only 10 lei per person

  • 5/5 Diana C. 7 months ago on Google
    Nice place, but the entire area outside is full of flying little bugs which stick to clothes. Entry fee was 10 RON at the time of visit.

  • 3/5 Mihai S. 11 months ago on Google
    The buildings are nice, but considering that Electric Castle takes place here every year, I hoped that some of the money would have gone towards better restauration of the Castle. 10 lei entrance is also a bit too much for what you can see.

    I left my heart here 💛🫶🏼🌻

    I specifically reserved tickets for going to the castle on the 29th of May on the website, it didn't mention anything about being closed that day (it's a public holiday in Romania). I never got an email confirmation, but those things happen... We got there and - surprise - we were not allowed in because of a "private" event.

    This is where the Electric Castle Festival is held in Bontida. The castle 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.

    Nice castle, some parts are already restore and can be visited, others are still under restauration, beautiful grounds.

  • 4/5 Tomas 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place to visit. With every visit you support reconstruction.

  • 5/5 Alexandru F. 1 year ago on Google
    Visit this castle at EC festival to have fun and in other parts of the year if you what to know more about the history from this place

  • 2/5 Tibi N. 1 year ago on Google
    A beautiful place which needs to be restored if the local authorities want to make this a tourist attraction. Currently , and considering a minimum 30 minutes drive if you are in Cluj , this place isn't worth the effort, as there is nothing you can see here.

  • 5/5 Ana C. 1 year ago on Google
    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!).

  • 5/5 Darrell S. 2 years ago on Google
    Pleasant experience with interesting history and a nice coffee shop with ice cream. 10 leu per person entrance fee..

  • 5/5 Andreea D. 2 years ago on Google
    The reconditioning is being done very tastefully and it transforms the place to a fairytale like scene.

  • 5/5 Laurentiu L. 2 years ago on Google
    I have attended Electric Castle 2021,it was amazing, it was great! Anyhow, great area, not only during music festival!

  • 5/5 Catalin B. 2 years ago on Google
    In the restauration process, still a majestic site. Will come back in the summer, great site for a picnic.

  • 3/5 Finetti R. 2 years ago on Google
    It's an old castle with nothing to visit. It's not worth it to come here if it's not on your way. It's cool that Electric Castle is held here tho.

😐 An interesting castle in full restoration. It reaches him from Cluj on the European road to the village of Bonţida, where it goes right from the road and goes up to the center of the village to the monument of the heroes. There it goes to the right and about 500 meters reach the gate of the castle....
