Coșteiu (Comuna Coşteiu)

Coșteiu (Kastély; Großkostil) is a commune in Timiș County, Romania. It is composed of five villages: Coșteiu (commune seat), Hezeriș, Păru, Țipari and Valea Lungă Română. It is located on the right bank of the Timiș River, downstream from Lugoj.

The first recorded mention of Coșteiu dates from 1597. The settlement was formed around a medieval castle known as Kastély, from which its name is derived (in Hungarian kastély means "castle"). On the Josephinische Landesaufnahme of 1717, it was listed under the name Gustik. Today's village was formed by merging three hamlets after 1945: Coșteiu Mare (Nagykastély), Coșteiu Mic (Kiskastély) and Sâlha (Szilha).

The Bega Canal played an important role in the history of Coșteiu. Work on the canal began in 1728. To regularize Bega, Dutch engineer Maximilien Emmanuel Fremaut built a dam near Coșteiu between 1759 and 1760. It was rebuilt in 1860 after the catastrophic floods of the previous year.
