In the middle of September, I left the Baraolt to Varghis with the intention to visit the Castle Daniel and Gorge Varghis.
The most important attraction of the village Varghis is, in the opinion of some tourists, the restored building of the Daniel Castle. Castle presents architectural elements of Renaissance, Baroque and Classical. The first written document about castle is from 1580. Then Renaissance castle was already in use and was later rebuilt several times. On the southern wing of main building, with the double-roofed, is the beautiful Renaissance loggia. Many bas-reliefs in stone carved, keeps, togheter with emblems of the family, and the data for important events (1646, 1650, 1687, 1723, 1745). Daniel Ferenc József Sebestyén did the last restoration, before communist era, in 1937 after Keöpeczi architect. The arboretum with rare trees invites to walk and relax.
Now, the castle is transformed in museum and provides adequate spaces for organizing cultural and artistic activities.
