The castle can be visited upon request, please contact the owners at the previous contact details.

Its castle-like character is defined by the stone-plinth and the several turrets connected to its high central roof. The corner bastion from the garden facade is defined by a stone-paved loggia with stairs leading to the park, today the main entrance of the castle. The central part of the castle was made of the imposing hall of two levels, from where the other rooms opened, the men rooms facing the garden, the dining room, then the salon and finally the apartments of the owners. There were smaller children and guest rooms on the upper floor, maid's rooms, kitchen, warehouses and basement on the ground floor. After the nationalization, the castle was empty until 1963, when the castle and its outbuildings were turned into a hospital. In 1972, more drastic interventions were made: the main entrance under the tower was closed and the new entrance was built into the loggia. The wooden staircase of the corridor, already divided on two levels in 1963, was replaced by a concrete staircase. Most damage was caused by the construction of the city hospital in 1982: this new building covered the main facade of the castle and left the building without function. In the park that once extended to the center of Toplița, blockhouses and a administrative buildings were constructed. In 2009, the castle, with its ruined outbuildings, was returned to the descendants. The Romanian state rented the building until 2013. The building is currently empty, it can be visited on request.
