Abstract:

During the renovation of the Ugron Castle building in Filiaș (Fiatfalva, Harghita County, RO), between
2020 and 2023, we had the opportunity to carry out archaeological excavations at several points. As a
result, the remains of a 15th-century manor house surrounded by defensive trench were uncovered. After it was destroyed by fire, the Geréb family commissioned the construction of a Renaissance castle, which was also equipped with defensive walls, corner towers, and a moat. With the help of written sources and rich artifacts, it was possible to clarify the ownership relations and the building history.
