Romania · 19th century
The castle in Borșa (Hungarian: Kolozsborsai Bánffy-kastély), Cluj County, is a former property of the Bánffy family. It was built in its present form in the second half of the 19th century, probably by Baron Daniel Bánffy, and in 1957 became a Hospital for Chronic Mental Illnesses. Since 2003 it has passed into the patrimony of the Cluj County Council.
