About
One of the most significant buildings of the Mikes family, the manor from Zágon already existed in the 17th century, as indicated by an inscription in one of the beams, which includes the year number 1632, and the initials B:M and E:D. Mikes Kelemen was born here; this is supposedly proved by an inscription which was added during reconstructions at the beginning of the 20th century.
The castle currently houses the Zágon/Zagon Museum, which exhibits the memorial statues of Mikes Kelemen, Csutak Vilmos and Kiss Manyi. The old granary was transformed into a guest house.
