The village of Luncani (Hungarian Aranyosgerend), in Cluj County, Transylvania, holds two special monuments of medieval and early modern architecture: the church, attested in 1290, and the Kemény-Bánffy castle of the seventeenth century. The church is well preserved, with Romanesque and early Gothic elements, inclusions of ancient Roman sculptural reliefs, and traces of medieval wall painting inside. The castle, located nearby, is unfortunately almost a ruin. Visited March 2016.
