Russian thoughtlessness in two outbreaks

It was built by the Ligęza family in the mid-15th century. It did not resist the Swedish deluge and was destroyed. In the nineteenth century, it was rebuilt in the neo-Gothic style. The castle was in the possession of a large collection of books, which was several centuries old, unfortunately after the war the Russians burned it down, lighting up two huge fires with the book collection.
