The Teleki Castle is situated about 20 km from Targu Mures, in the Reghin direction. Before you visit the castle, it is recommended to call there because the tours are private and in different languages. We arrived there without calling. Because of removing the stuff after the Awake Festival which was held there the previous days, we could enter and wait on a bench in the courtyard for an hour in order to wait for the English tour. We had as a castle tour the son of the Count Teleki, the owner, who nicely presented us the castle in about 50 minutes. The castle is built in U shape in a late baroque style, but in a reversed manner, just like another castles around Budapest. It is surrounded by an amazing English garden with old oak trees and an old ginkgo biloba tree. The castle is under refurbishment and only a part of it may be visited; there can be seen original old doors and stoves, several great Murano chandeliers and pieces of furniture. The entrance is free and you can donate for the refurbishment of the castle. You may also buy some souvenirs about it or things made by artisanal artists. I highly recommend to visit the castle!

3. Piaka Muzeulu
4. Saxon Church

The church was built between 1493 and 1525. The presence of the fortified citadel meant that this fortified church was built later than most in the area. Inside the church is an Austrian Baroque style altar from 1735. The organ is one of the ten largest and most important such organs in Transylvania. After many fires the roof was fully restored in 1830.

Not very rich in information, but restored looks pretty good. You have nowhere to buy some souvenirs. Interesting to climb in the attic of the church.

A symbol of Sighisoara. To reach the Church on the Hill you must climb! ???? But after that, you'll see it wasn't for nothing. Great view of the town and... you did some sport up and down the stairs.????
