Mocioni-Teleki Palace (also known as Castelul Teleki-Mocsony) in Căpâlnaș village, Birchiș commune, Arad County, Romania—formerly Kápolnás—is a 19th-century neoclassical manor modeled after Versailles' Petit Trianon, designed in 1867 by Viennese architect Otto Wagner and built 1876-1879 by Ecaterina and Mihai Mocioni on a domain acquired in 1853 from the Zichy family for 260,000 florins.

Central to an 8-hectare dendrological park with annexes, it featured a grand library—one of the Austro-Hungarian Empire's finest private collections—and hosted classical music concerts until nationalization in 1949 turned it into a medical unit, with heirs regaining it in 2000 amid decay.

Classified as a historic monument (AR-II-m-B-00278), the elegant palace with its skylit central hall symbolizes the wealth of the Aromanian-origin Mocioni noble family.
