The colourful and varied history of this castle near Cluj-Napoca dates back to 1387, and among other things it has served as a field hospital, when German troops plundered and devastated the castle; during the communist regime as a driving school, cooperative farm, and hospital for children. In 1963, Bánffy Castle was used as decor for filming Pădurea spânzuraților … the film had a short scene with fire, causing massive damage to the building.  In 1990, the castle was declared a historic monument, and since 2013 the castle has been the venue for an annual music festival called Electric Castle, held each July.  This card was mailed in 2025, with stamp and two postmarks.  Grade: 1
