Boda Mansion

The Boda Mansion from Filia is one of the best known mansions in the villages of the historical Bardoc Seat. The building that can be approached through the gate with stone pillars has a two-storeyed porch with a foregrounded central axis, also endowed with a small circular window.   On the main façade the storeys of the porch and the building are separated with an accentuated shoulder. The main façade of the upper storey of the porch is determined by three semicircular arcades supported by pillars, with a lesene-like decoration on each side of the façade. The lesene-like decorative solutions are also repeated on the corners of the building’s façade. The dwelling rooms with beamed ceilings can be accessed through the doors opening from the entrance hall. On the coat of arms like decoration of the stone framing of the window on the right side of the porch there appears the year 1713, indicating the time of construction of the mansion. The B S initials carved under the year clearly refer to the person who had the building constructed, Boda Sándor vice royal judge of Bardoc Seat.

This building could not avoid the vicissitudes of the communist regime either; after the regime change the mansion entered into private possession again, but the owners could not afford restoration, thus it seemed that it would be irretrievably destroyed. With regard to its considerably deteriorated state, with the purpose of value preservation, the local government of Brăduţ bought it from own resources from nine heirs in 2011. This was followed by the full restoration of the building. In it a country house is planned to be established.
