The castle was built during the 17th century by Gyulay Ferencz, an Austrian general, the only child of Hungarian nobleman Gyulay Ignacz. Ferencz built the mansion on the site of a smaller building. The general’s family ruled the town called Mintia, that was renamed Marosnemeti, a term derived from the Hungarian word "nemet", that translates to "German". Several descendants of the Gyulay family lived at the castle. Historical documents from 1806 state that the Mintia mansion was owned at that time by Gyulay Istvan, followed by Albert and K.R Gyulay. Countess Gyulay of Mintia, who married Ladislau Kuun of Osdola, later inherited the domain together with her brother, Ludovic. In 1848, the Gyulay family took refuge at Cluj and, after the revolution, Ludovic, Ladislau Kuun, his wife Constance, and their children, Irene and Geza, returned to Mintia. Ludovic was the last heir of the Gyulay family. He wrote over 100 journals about the mansion and about Mintia. All of them are preserved at the Cluj-Napoca history museum. Ludovic Gyulay modified the building in 1834, giving it the shape it has today. Ludovic Gyulay never got married and, therefore, never had any heirs. His fortune was inherited by his brother-in-law, Ladislau Kuun, followed by his son, Geza Kuun. Geza studied Hungarian and German literature at the Universities of Budapest and Gottingen, and was a member and vice president of the Budapest Academy of Sciences. He was part of Vienna’s elite social circles, and became friends with the famous composer Franz Liszt – one of the most prominent pianists of all time. It was then that he also met writer Elena Ghica – daughter of Mihai Ghica, niece of Grigore Ghica the 4th, and the first woman to have climbed the Mont Blanc peak, on June 1st 1860. After 1870, Geza Kunn settled at Mintia and married Vilma Kemeny, the daughter of baron Kemeny of Magyar-Gyeno Monosto. His presence here transformed the town into a gathering place for eminent representatives of the cultural and scientific scenes, which included V. Zakrzewski – professor at the Cracovia University, Al. Szilagyi – secretary of the Historical Society, baron Balazs Orban, A. Szecsen –Imperial Court marchal. The beauty of the mansion located on the bank of Mureș River was also admired by the president of the Archeological Society – Solyon Fekete, the director of the Deva History Museum – Teglas Gabor, and by scientist Samuel Brassay – regarded as Transylvania’s last polymath. The immense library of the Mintia Castle and the salon, decorated with family portraits and precious objects, were visited by prefect George Pogany, subprefect Coloman Barcsay, count Coloman Esterhazy – director of the Transylvania Museum, by Otto von Keller – professor at the University of Prague, Zsolt Beothy – professor at the Budapest University, and by Norwegian scientist Conrad Nielsen. Baron Miklos Josika also traveled from Brănişca to Mintia, either on foot, by car, or on horseback. He also traveled by boat on Mureş River in order to admire the park that surrounded the castle. The rare species of plants and trees that embellished the park were mesmerizing. Count Kuun named the trees after the most important Hungarian writers, many of whom had been his friends. One of the trees, for example, bore the name of Attila, in the memory of Attila Gerando. Amid the rose bushes, the visitor could also discover numerous honorary or mortuary shrines. Geza Kuun died in 1905, on April 10th, and was entombed at Cluj. Legend has it that, although the body of count Geza was inhumed at Cluj, his heart was buried in the cemetery of the Mintia Reformed Church, alongside other members of his family and former owners of the castle. The Mintia domain, that comprises the castle and the park, is classed as a historical monument of national and universal importance, class A.

In the technical room there is also a boiler, a storage buffer for the hot water produced by the solar panels and the technical plants and cold water storage tanks. All pumps are Villo, as is the water filtration system with its own pumping station.

The solar panel heated pool has 34 sunbeds and 4 canopies, a lawn area, bar, service bathrooms, indoor and outdoor showers, changing rooms, dry sauna and clamshell rockers. Children have a play area with a slide, tree house and trampoline.

In Runc, on the southern slopes of the Apuseni Mountains, this private estate extends across 22 hectares of registered, unencumbered land. Three independent residences, an extensive orchard, two lakes and a private water source create a secluded property equally suited to personal use and hospitality. The setting is remarkable for its unspoiled beauty, with sweeping forests, mountain ridges unfolding towards the horizon and views reaching as far as the Parâng Mountains on clear days. Its southern exposure provides abundant natural light, while the stream in the valley enhances the tranquillity of this mountain retreat. The main residence, Casa Verde, offers approximately 700 sqm and generous glazed surfaces facing the panorama. Solid-wood joinery and staircases, hand-crafted and hand-painted terracotta stoves and carefully selected Italian finishes shape the interiors. The house comprises six bathrooms, a gym, spa and sauna. Underfloor heating and radiators are supported by two wood-fired boilers and an electric boiler. A 250 sqm space within the mountain was designed for fruit storage. Casa Lia offers approximately 110 sqm, with an elegant rustic atmosphere defined by solid wood and finishes sourced from Italy and Spain. Beside the house is a 150 sqm outdoor area overlooking the lake, equipped with a bread oven, smokehouse, grill, pantry, sinks and dining space. Built from substantial timber beams and roofed with shingles, Casa Fibonacci takes its inspiration from the Phi golden ratio, reflected in its dimensions of 5, 8 and 13 metres. Its distinctive architecture maintains a close visual connection with the surrounding forests and mountains. Approximately 10 hectares are fenced and secured, with controlled access, iron gates and video surveillance. The infrastructure has been carefully developed, while the land has been terraced to follow the mountain’s natural contours. At the centre of the estate lies an orchard of approximately 9,000 fruit trees, primarily apple and plum, surrounded by gardens, cultivated land and landscaped areas. The two lakes cover a combined area of approximately 500 sqm, bringing a further sense of calm to the mountain setting. Stables and paddocks allow animals to be kept on the property and support the estate’s self-sufficient character. Additional buildings include staff accommodation, a timber storage building of approximately 100 sqm, a greenhouse extending almost 100 metres and a treehouse positioned at the highest point of the land. A private water source is a rare advantage for an estate of this scale. The spring lies on a separate parcel of approximately 1.3 hectares and supplies the estate’s reservoirs by gravity over a distance of 1.7 kilometres. Three-phase electricity is complemented by solar panels and battery storage, while connectivity is provided through Starlink and the Orange network. Each residence has an independent septic system. The 800-metre access road has been reinforced with gabions and fitted with drainage systems designed to manage rainwater and protect the land. Terracing has also created level areas that may accommodate additional houses, swimming pools or facilities, subject to planning regulations and without compromising the estate’s privacy. The Apuseni Mountains attract Romanian and international visitors through their natural scenery, traditional villages and hiking routes. The inclusion of the Roșia Montană Mining Landscape on the UNESCO World Heritage List has further strengthened the region’s international visibility. This context supports the estate’s transformation into a boutique resort, private retreat, premium agritourism concept or wellness destination. The three residences, orchard, lakes and expansion potential allow for stays centred on nature and local gastronomy. Equally, the property may remain a permanent residence, multigenerational family retreat or exceptional holiday home, offering complete privacy for family and guests.

The Casa Bata estate extends over the counties of Arad and Timis, with two owners who are passionate about nature and relaxation. The motivation for building Casa Bata arose from the fact that the large forest areas owned by the owners also generate exceptional opportunities for hunting and other recreational and relaxation activities in nature.

The logo is an 8-cornered flower (8 petals) inspired by the Mayan civilization and represents optimism and confidence in the future. Casa Bata is the only luxury location with 4 daisies style in the Mures Valley, which offers rooms with luxurious decor and furniture.
