In Bățanii Mici, a village
located between Bățanii Mari and Herculian, in the Baraolt depression, there is
this intimate mansion - an elegant and solid building, well maintained, with a
high ground floor and a fence matching the stone of the property.
Set back from the street,
surrounded by a lawned courtyard and a generous paved area, the building
impresses with its entrance under a portico with majestic, classicizing
columns. The facade is exquisitely decorated with elegant boxes showing plant
elements and fine window frames. The annex also has a special charm with its
exposed brick façade and discreetly carved reddish wood pillars.
Inside, the rooms are spacious
and bright, what impresses is the huge library - the mansion belongs to the
daughter of Elek Benedek, publicist, writer, educator, creator of Hungarian
children′s literature and collector of Szekler folklore.
