这座城堡建于 17 世纪，由奥地利将军 Gyulay Ferencz 建造，他是匈牙利贵族 Gyulay Ignacz 的独生子。 Ferencz 在一座较小建筑的旧址上建造了这座豪宅。将军的家族统治着名为 Mintia 的小镇，该小镇更名为 Marosnemeti，该词源自匈牙利语“nemet”，意为“德语”。 Gyulay 家族的几个后裔住在城堡里。 1806 年的历史文件表明，Mintia 豪宅当时由 Gyulay Istvan 所有，其次是 Albert 和 K.R Gyulay。 Mintia 的 Gyulay 伯爵夫人与 Osdola 的 Ladislau Kuun 结婚，后来与她的兄弟 Ludovic 一起继承了该领地。 1848 年，Gyulay 一家在克卢日避难，革命结束后，Ludovic、Ladislau Kuun、他的妻子 Constance 以及他们的孩子 Irene 和 Geza 返回了 Mintia。
Ludovic 是 Gyulay 家族的最后一位继承人。他写了 100 多篇关于这座豪宅和 Mintia 的期刊。所有这些都保存在克卢日-纳波卡历史博物馆。 Ludovic Gyulay 于 1834 年对这座建筑进行了改造，使其成为今天的样子。 Ludovic Gyulay 从未结过婚，因此也没有任何继承人。他的财产由他的姐夫 Ladislau Kuun 继承，随后由他的儿子 Geza Kuun 继承。格扎在布达佩斯大学和哥廷根大学学习匈牙利和德国文学，并且是布达佩斯科学院的成员和副院长。他是维也纳精英社交圈的一员，并与著名作曲家弗朗茨·李斯特——有史以来最杰出的钢琴家之一成为朋友。 1860 年 6 月 1 日，他还遇到了作家埃琳娜·吉卡 (Elena Ghica)——米海·吉卡的女儿，格里戈尔·吉卡四世的侄女，也是第一位登上勃朗峰的女性。
1870 年后，盖扎·库恩定居在明蒂亚，并与马扎尔-杰诺·莫诺斯托 (Magyar-Gyeno Monosto) 男爵凯梅尼的女儿维尔玛·凯梅尼结婚。他的出现使该镇变成了文化和科学界杰出代表的聚集地，其中包括阿尔克拉科维亚大学教授 V. Zakrzewski。 Szilagyi – 历史学会秘书，Balazs Orban 男爵，A. Szecsen – 帝国元帅。这座位于穆列什河畔的豪宅的美丽也得到了考古学会主席索里恩·费科特、德瓦历史博物馆馆长泰格拉斯·加博尔和科学家塞缪尔·布拉赛的赞赏——塞缪尔·布拉赛被认为是特兰西瓦尼亚最后一位博学之士。明蒂亚城堡的巨大图书馆和装饰着家庭肖像和珍贵物品的沙龙，省长 George Pogany，副省长 Coloman Barcsay，特兰西瓦尼亚博物馆馆长 Coloman Esterhazy 伯爵，特兰西瓦尼亚大学教授 Otto von Keller 参观了布拉格，Zsolt Beothy – 布达佩斯大学教授，挪威科学家康拉德尼尔森。 Miklos Josika 男爵也步行、乘车或骑马从布尔尼什卡前往明蒂亚。为了欣赏城堡周围的公园，他还乘船游览了穆列什河。
点缀公园的稀有植物和树木令人着迷。库恩伯爵以最重要的匈牙利作家的名字为这些树命名，其中许多人都是他的朋友。例如，为了纪念 Attila Gerando，其中一棵树的名字叫 Attila。在玫瑰丛中，游客还可以发现许多名誉或停尸房。 Geza Kuun 于 1905 年 4 月 10 日去世，葬于克卢日。传说，虽然盖萨伯爵的遗体葬于克卢日，但他的心脏与他的其他家人和城堡的前主人一起被埋葬在明蒂亚归正会的墓地。
由城堡和公园组成的 Mintia 地区被列为具有国家和普遍重要性的 A 级历史古迹。
The castle was built during the 17th century by Gyulay Ferencz, an Austrian general, the only child of Hungarian nobleman Gyulay Ignacz. Ferencz built the mansion on the site of a smaller building. The general’s family ruled the town called Mintia, that was renamed Marosnemeti, a term derived from the Hungarian word "nemet", that translates to "German". Several descendants of the Gyulay family lived at the castle. Historical documents from 1806 state that the Mintia mansion was owned at that time by Gyulay Istvan, followed by Albert and K.R Gyulay. Countess Gyulay of Mintia, who married Ladislau Kuun of Osdola, later inherited the domain together with her brother, Ludovic. In 1848, the Gyulay family took refuge at Cluj and, after the revolution, Ludovic, Ladislau Kuun, his wife Constance, and their children, Irene and Geza, returned to Mintia.
Ludovic was the last heir of the Gyulay family. He wrote over 100 journals about the mansion and about Mintia. All of them are preserved at the Cluj-Napoca history museum. Ludovic Gyulay modified the building in 1834, giving it the shape it has today. Ludovic Gyulay never got married and, therefore, never had any heirs. His fortune was inherited by his brother-in-law, Ladislau Kuun, followed by his son, Geza Kuun. Geza studied Hungarian and German literature at the Universities of Budapest and Gottingen, and was a member and vice president of the Budapest Academy of Sciences. He was part of Vienna’s elite social circles, and became friends with the famous composer Franz Liszt – one of the most prominent pianists of all time. It was then that he also met writer Elena Ghica – daughter of Mihai Ghica, niece of Grigore Ghica the 4th, and the first woman to have climbed the Mont Blanc peak, on June 1st 1860.
After 1870, Geza Kunn settled at Mintia and married Vilma Kemeny, the daughter of baron Kemeny of Magyar-Gyeno Monosto. His presence here transformed the town into a gathering place for eminent representatives of the cultural and scientific scenes, which included V. Zakrzewski – professor at the Cracovia University, Al. Szilagyi – secretary of the Historical Society, baron Balazs Orban, A. Szecsen –Imperial Court marchal. The beauty of the mansion located on the bank of Mureș River was also admired by the president of the Archeological Society – Solyon Fekete, the director of the Deva History Museum – Teglas Gabor, and by scientist Samuel Brassay – regarded as Transylvania’s last polymath. The immense library of the Mintia Castle and the salon, decorated with family portraits and precious objects, were visited by prefect George Pogany, subprefect Coloman Barcsay, count Coloman Esterhazy – director of the Transylvania Museum, by Otto von Keller – professor at the University of Prague, Zsolt Beothy – professor at the Budapest University, and by Norwegian scientist Conrad Nielsen. Baron Miklos Josika also traveled from Brănişca to Mintia, either on foot, by car, or on horseback. He also traveled by boat on Mureş River in order to admire the park that surrounded the castle.
The rare species of plants and trees that embellished the park were mesmerizing. Count Kuun named the trees after the most important Hungarian writers, many of whom had been his friends. One of the trees, for example, bore the name of Attila, in the memory of Attila Gerando. Amid the rose bushes, the visitor could also discover numerous honorary or mortuary shrines. Geza Kuun died in 1905, on April 10th, and was entombed at Cluj. Legend has it that, although the body of count Geza was inhumed at Cluj, his heart was buried in the cemetery of the Mintia Reformed Church, alongside other members of his family and former owners of the castle.
The Mintia domain, that comprises the castle and the park, is classed as a historical monument of national and universal importance, class A.
