In 1777, Baron Samuel von Brukenthal was appointed Governor of Transylvania, making him the only Saxon in history to be elevated to such an important office by Empress Maria Theresa of Austria. The former summer residence of Baron Samuel von Brukenthal was awakened from its slumber in 2011 and renovated with Brukenthal’s ideas and visions in mind to be open to the public once again. This historic Baroque jewel, where history, elegance and sophistication come together in a romantic dance with nature, is the perfect venue for your events where dreams come true!
The Brukenthal Palace in Avrig (Freck in German) is the most impressive building of Baron Samuel von Brukenthal’s summer residence. A mythical and historic place that was once considered the Eden of Transylvania. It is modeled on Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, as it was designed by the same architect, although the palace is seven times smaller as a miniature. In summary, it can be said that these are two world-famous Baroque palaces that form a single artistic and architectural entity.
