The Sükösd-Bethlen Castle is in a semi-ruinous state, some of its parts are in precarious condition, therefore it can be visited only from the outside. Upon request, the inner garden of the castle can be visited as well.

The castle from Racoș is considered to be one of the historical monuments constructed in the time of the Principles Bethlen–Rákóczi, due to its four turrets located on the corners, being one of the early examples of turreted castles of Transylvania in the 17th century (the castle from Gilău was probably constructed on this pattern, the Bonțida Castle, built before the year of 1674, as well as the Castle from Ineu, built in the middle of the XVIIth century). The building, located in the central part of the village, has a rectangular ground plan and contains round turrets located at each of its corners. The southern part of the castle contains the arched entrance and once the inner courtyard was surrounded by the wings of the building. Today, the only buildings still standing at the inner side of the wall are the western wing and a part of the southern wing. In the time of Communism, the central axis of the northern gate was broken in order to allow the entrance of bigger agricultural machinery, the outer defense zone’s eastern hexagonal tower as well as the wall disappeared and the western tower was transformed into a residence. The renovation works from the early 1990s resulted the restoration of the Gate Tower building and its roof. Also at this time, the roof of the southern and eastern wings were remade and they were partially restored and the porch supported by Doric columns were also rebuilt. The castle – although it requires renovation and restoration works - attracts more and more visitors.
