Built between 1840 and 1845 by nobleman Gaál Miklós and his wife, the mansion was abandoned for nearly two decades after the 1989 Revolution. In 2012, the Community Foundation from Cluj acquired the property with the aim of restoring the historical site. By 2013, the mansion had been fully renovated, preserving key architectural elements such as the original floor, doors, and furniture.
Today, the Gaál Mansion offers visitors an immersive journey into the past. The property includes a newly reconstructed barn-style building with accommodations and a mini-SPA, as well as a villa once occupied by the last generation of the Gaál family. Guests can enjoy a blend of 19th-century elegance and modern comfort, all within a serene rural landscape.
Beyond its architectural beauty, the mansion provides a retreat from urban life, attracting visitors who seek peace and historical authenticity. It is also an excellent base for exploring nearby attractions such as Lake Sfânta Ana, Brasov, and other cultural sites in Covasna County.
With over 150 years of history, the Gaál Mansion stands as a testament to the region's noble past, offering an unforgettable experience to all who visit.
