The Săcășeni City Hall has its headquarters in a beautiful castle. It can't be other than Bölöni Castle, built in 1880, it passed through my mind when I saw it and I noted down on my list - I have found it! To be sure I asked but my joy dispeled in a flash: No way, Castel Bölöni was never here, it is Castle Braunecker! It was inherited by the baron's illegitimate daughter, dead, but she sold it to Romanian state, that's why the City Hall moved here! In the reformed church appears Bölöni name because they had built it!
Underheath the church their daughetr was burried and in 1890 they built the crypt's entrance door. Bölöni or Braunecker? The question troubled me continuously. In a short while I have found out that Braunecker was accused by treason.
Was it the reason for which Petri Mor had omitted the castle from its book published in 1905? Nobody writes about Bronecker Castle. The trouble is that Petri Mór doesn't writes about no Bölöni Castle!
But the castel had to exist in around 1800. The information appared then: at the beginig of XIX century The Bölönis left the locality, but up until then they had lived at Camăr and at Biharugra! At Biharugra there is an identic castle built in 1890. These data were collected. So we address to all the persons who held data about the castle, please help us. Let us make that the question mark from the title to dissapear!
