Treznea, Bay castle

The Treznea locality centre castle was built at the middle of XIX century by Bay Ferenc landlord

He used to live here with his family until 1944. Two weeks before the front of the IInd world war to reach in Treznea the entire family left to Curtuișeni, the native locality of his sister. It was a definitive leaving but an accusing one because the inhabitants made him responsible for the murders made in Treznea.

After the war ended the castle was headquarters for CAP and after the 90's it was deserted. Its estate got worse and worse, only the monument statute saves it from the inhabitant's anger. There is no money for renovation or conservation they wait to fall. All these happen, and Treznea could be proud with a unique building in Romania.

The castle has only two bodies, bound between them by an imitation of "footbridge sigh" from Venice.

The above photos were taken in 2011. At that time, I discussed with the councilors at the time about a possible restoration of the building, that a house of culture or a nursing home or anything else could be arranged there, about European money and many more ... And now, in 2020, I looked in amazement at Peter Luidor's images of the current state of Bay Castle. What happened? Did indifference and time do their job? Has the anger passed from father to son gone and it didn't matter whose bricks got into the homes of some? Did homeless people heat up there, darkening the walls? Did the protection of the monuments tacitly accept what happened? There are a lot of questions running through my mind. While the heritage buildings are being renovated in many localities, because they attract tourists, Treznea does not understand even today, in 2020, what it loses forever. This is what Bay Castle looks like now:

Only a few days passed and the new photos I received were shocking. Bay Castle no longer exists! Dear tourists, this goal can no longer be visited, you have nothing! What happened? In the spring of 2019, the Minister of Culture, Daniel Breaz, signed the condemnation of the disappearance of this building, approving the removal of the castle from the list of historical monuments. Have you ever visited this town? Did you see the unique architecture of the castle in the country? He probably wasn't even interested, he was convinced by the pressure of the village that had been at war with the building for a long time. They entered with bulldozers tearing down the last particle of Bay Castle. Dear parliamentarians, why don't you ban the removal of positions from the List of Historical Monuments? This case is not unique, there are others. Stop the destruction of this country's heritage!
