A Day In Corvin Castle, The Fairy Tale Castle Of Romania
Where Is Corvin Castle?
While looking for things to do at my hostel in Sibiu, I saw a picture of a castle hanging on a wall that immediately stood out. Corvin Castle looked like it belongs in a fairy tale book cover! I added it to my Romania (Balkan) itinerary via Google My Maps and booked a train ride to Deva, the closest city the next day. Corvin Castle (Castelul Corvinilor in Romanian) lies 17 Kilometers south of Deva, in a town called Hunedoara.

Cris - The Bethlen Castle, Mures, Romania
Criş (former Crişd; German Saxon: Kraeš; German: Kreisch; Hungarian: Keresd) is a village in Daneş commune, near Sighişoara, Mureş County, Romania. Before 1300, one of the members of the Bethlen family received here a domain, for his bravery during the crusades. Since then goes back also the legend of the family coat of arms, depicting a serpent with an apple in his mouth. The legend said that the place was haunted by a monster, a giant snake associated with the numerous disappearances among locals. The crusader, seeing the snake, have thrown it an apple, which he would have drowned. Historians have a different interpretation, seeing the apple as a symbol of a Papal document, and added during the time the family converted from Catholicism to the Reformed religion. The Bethlen Castle construction began before 1300 and lasted over 400 years (between 14th-17th centuries). Initially, the castle had an irregular quadrilateral shape, with wedge-type rhomboidal bastions on corners. Built in several stages, it was originally designed in Gothic style, and over the years were added the Transylvanian Renaissance elements, being now the most beautiful Renaissance castle in Transylvania. Now, the castle has a fortified square shape, with circular bastions at the corners and square entrance tower, a structure typical for the late medieval military architecture. The residence has two floors, an imposing circular tower (Archers' Tower) and a loggia with semicircular arched openings on short cylindrical pillars. The fortification system was completed with a semi-enclosure with bastions. The buildings of the castle, along with the walls of the fortress, enclose an almost rectangular square. The oldest building is the leveled medieval old tower, its highest level facade being decorated by painted high-relief figures showing warriors carrying halberds or shields in their right hands, their left hands resting on their waists. The 5th level of the tower comprising of eight arched windows is known to be used as a look-out. The secret turret case has been inserted into the thick tower walls. The old tower was provided with Renaissance doorway and window frames during the 16th and the 17th centuries. In 1559, chancellor Georgius Bethlen and his wife Clara of Nagykároly completed the old tower with a vaulted building and a loggia. Their son, Miklos Bethlen, continued to bring further improvements to the castle, with new buildings in Renaissance style. Between 1675 1691, Count Alexius Bethlen consolidated the corners of the fortress with bastions. The rear facade of the old tower faces a small yard, as well as the western walls of the fortress. The leveled building on the eastern side, along with the southern and western walls of the fortress enclose sculptured window and door frames. On the ground-floor is the chapel of the fortress -- one of the most beautiful spaces of the building complex, with both Gothic and Renaissance decorating elements. The wing connecting the eastern side corner bastions hosts a range of inter-connected rooms, with a total length of 50 m. The interior of the castle never failed to preserve its authenticity. The splendor of the salons was enhanced by the exquisitely painted and polished pieces of furniture, as well as by the inbuilt chests of drawers, carpets and rugs. Portraits of family members were lined up along the walls. The library and the family archives were on the first floor of the old tower. In the courtyard of the tower there used to be a flower garden, the castle being surrounded by a vast English park. There was also a pentagonal summer pavilion, with walls decorated with paintings.
When Bethlen family left the country in 1948, the castle was nationalized and used as a pioneer camp and then as vegetables and grain warehouse of the village's farms. Many valuable objects, collections of art, weapons and hunting trophies, furniture, were taken to Sighişoara and some at the Bruckenthal Museum in Sibiu. The rest was stolen. In 1974 the castle was taken over by the Department of Historical Monuments, that began a sustained work of the consolidation and restoration, an activity that lasted until 1977. In that period have been strengthened the chapel, the octagonal tower, the dungeon tower and floor the ground-floor of the manor.
The castle has been partially restored in the '90, but the restoration stopped because the inheritors claimed the castle. After many years of legal suits, the Transylvanian branch of the family received the castle and the park.

Atel - The fortified church, Sibiu, Romania
Evangelical Church of Aţel, for the first time, it is mentioned documentary in 1471. The church was built in the last quarter of the 14th century and is alike the Sibiu cathedral in terms of its basilical location with columns, three ships, transept and western belfry-tower. The choir, closed polygonal, composed of two bays, is of great effect through its large size. In the northern part it is attached a spacious sacristy. Before the choir there is a long transept. Central vessel is separated from the side vessels by 3 columns of different formats and by arches. Belfry-tower near the central vessel in the western side was built in three floors and is surrounded by two lateral vessels, which are today separated from the church by cross walls. The ante-temple of the tower opens to the central vessel in a high arc ogive. The western portal, with a developed articulation, is highly ornated and resembles the portals of Curciu and Băgaciu; it was probably worked by the same master.
Towards the end of the 15th century the church was fortified. Church choir received a high defense gallery made of brick and was headed for this purpose with a ribbed vault in the late Gothic style. The central ship, the transept and the lateral vessels were also equipped with new vaults, having ribs arranged differently. The belfry tower was lifted up with one floor and it was strengthened, receiving a defense gallery; a pyramid-shaped roof ends the over-building.
Around the year 1460 the church was surrounded with an oval-shaped wall, doubled in three parts. In the north-east part there has been preserved, from the inner wall, a square-shaped tower. A barbacane in an elongated shape in the south-east part connects the interior and exterior walls and defends the entrance, which can be closed with sliding grates. On the Inside, the entrance ends with a rectangular-shaped tower with a roof in a single slope, the third floor of the tower being habitable. In the south part of the wall there is a rectangular tower with loopholes, openings for pouring pitch and a pyramid-shaped roof. In the northern part of the outer courtyard there is a rectangular bastion, coming out of the wall a lot.
The shrine from 1792 in the baroque and rococo style comes from Johann Folbarth foreman of Sighişoara. Altar's niche (Altarkredenz), made in the late Gothic style, is a very beautiful and artistic work from around 1500. It is, perhaps, made by the foreman, who worked the door of the tabernacle and the door of the sacristy of Moşna.
Valea Viilor - The fortified church, Sibiu, Romania
Valea Viilor is first mentioned in 1305 when its owner, Count Apafi, passed away. However, by 1359 the land was being mentioned as a free commune. Surprisingly, the villagers of Valea Viilor excelled at making wine, giving rise to the Romanian name meaning Vineyard Valley. The whole area has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999.
The fortified church is situated in the center of the village. The first church was most likely a Gothic basilica erected in the early 14th century. Archeological excavations have revealed the existence of another building before the present church. Observable ruins in the floor of the vestry indicate that once was a Romanesque church at Valea Viilor. It is speculated that the original church was approximately 10 meters long, less than half the length of the present church. The present-day Gothic church, built in the 14th century, is dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The church is characterized by Late-Gothic elements from around 1500. The church hall has a tunnel vault with a Late-Gothic ribbed net. The small nave has a vault supported by seven pairs of pillars that are attached to the side walls. Both the nave and the choir have a complex network of ribs on their vaults. In the construction phase, more levels were added above the choir with arches between the tall buttresses and a fortified level with a hoarding. The Baroque altar from 1779 has two tiers, columns, small columns, saint's statues, and painted panels. A Eucharist shrine and stall work from the beginning of the 16th century have survived. The existing organ is from 1808. The church had undergone several periods of construction in the beginning of the 19th century. The church is surrounded by an oval precinct with 7-8 meter high mantle walls. Towers were placed in the east, west, north, and south with the western one being a gate tower. The church and precinct are accessed via a vaulted gangway with portcullis on the western side. On the sides there are four bastions oriented north, south, east, and west. The walls are equipped with battlements and machicolations that are supported by brackets on the outside. There is another hoarding above the hall, with loopholes and arches for machicolations. The west tower, which is also a bell tower, has buttresses at 45 degrees, arches between the buttresses, and a hoarding on wooden cantilevers. The fortress of Valea Viilor is impressive because of the sculptural character of the fortified aspects.
Axente Sever - The fortified church, Sibiu, Romania
In Axente Sever in 14th century began the construction of a Gothic hall-church, consisting of hall, four quarters tower and choir. The massiveness of the tower between the choir and the hall leads to the conclusion that it is the oldest part of the building. A similar composition of the base we can find in Agârbiciu and Ţapu. The thickness of the wall of the tower's floor is 1.60 m being pierced by the east and west by an arc ogive.
Around the year 1490 the church is rebuilt for defense. On the east and west of the four quarters tower there were built defense floors. The counterforts of the western front are strengthened, and there was built a defense bridge for bows and battlements for pitch. The tower ends with a wooden defense bridge. The choir is also uplifted with two floors, which are equipped with battlements for rifles. Western entrance closes with a sliding grid with spikes, whose guides are still visible nowadays. The church was surrounded with a wall of defense with guard road and barns, so that in case of siege locals can shelter their families and wealth into the fortress.
Brateiu - The fortified church, Sibiu, Romania
Brateiu (Pretai in German, Pretoa in Saxon, Bátárhely in Hungarian) is located onto the valley of Târnava Mare river, 5 km from Mediaş, on the Mediaş-Sighişoara highway. Brateiu was founded by Saxon colonists and was first mentioned in a document of 1283, which governed the relationships between Petru, the bishop of Alba Iulia Chapter, and the priests of Mediaş Chapter. The German name Price and the Romanian name Brateiu have their etymology in the Latin word protodiaconus, which also gave the Hungarian name of the settlement, Bátárhely (Village of the monk).
On Brateiu's territory there is one of the most representative fortified churches in Transylvania. Like most of the monuments alike, the medieval church of Brateiu, which in the past also had the role of peasant fortress, only appears in historians' documents and books. It is in a state that requires a rapid intervention of the authorities to be saved from destruction.
Fortified church building took place in the 14th century. It has three ships and a belfry flanked by those two lateral ships. The changes made in time have distorted the symmetric plan of the church, among other things through the ascension of the outer wall of the south ship. Among the latest changes to the church is included the replacement of the arch with a ceiling with molding in 1846. The current shrine dates from the 16th century. The entrenchment surrounding the monument dates from about the same time as the major changes to the church. The battlements and the guard road of the old wall of the premises were not kept. There still exist the counterforts that supports it at regular intervals. The fortifications consist of a floor of wall with holes for oil and battlements. The belfry, where the hundreds of years old bells are stored, is provided with a gallery of wooden fence. Only the northern ship of the entire church has been preserved unchanged. Of high artistic value is the gothic font of the 15th century, built of limestone.
In the sacristy is kept the epitaph of the priest Johannes Hermanus, died on May 21st 1592. The defense wall is oval-shape and adjusts to the terrain. In the north there is a steep lowering towards Târnava Mare river, in the west there is a deep trench, the south and east parts are defended by a massive square tower, which is also the gateway. Today the wall is not of the original height and has no railing anymore. The gate tower now has the appearance of an old Roman tower.

수체아바는 15세기 몰도바 공국의 수도로 수체아바 주변에 많은 수도원들이 세워졌다고 한다. 보로네츠 수도원도 그 중 하나로 1488년 슈테판 대왕에 의해 건립됐다. 수도원의 벽은 프레스코화로 가득 채워져 있는데 그림의 내용은 주로 성서와 관련된 종교적인 것이지만 오랫동안 루마니아를 침략하고 지배했던 터키인에 대한 미움이 담겨있다. 특히 서쪽 벽에 그려진 최후의 심판은 세계적인 평가를 받고 있는 걸작으로 신의 재판에 의해 천국의 문으로 가는 사람과 지옥의 문으로 가는 사람이 나눠지는 장면을 묘사하고 있다. 이 그림에서도 지옥으로 떨어지는 이교도들은 모두 터키인의 얼굴을 하고 있다.

What I visited
- The Sibiu Lutheran Cathedral : Was built in the 14th century on the location of another 12th-century church. For three centuries it served as a burial place for the mayors, earls and other personalities from Sibiu. This practice was banned in 1796 but one exception was made in 1803 when baron Samuel von Brukenthal was laid to rest in the crypt.
In 1671 a Slovakian craftsman built an organ to replace the previous one that was built in 1585. Today the newer organ is the largest in the southeastern region of Europe. During the summer, there are concerts every Wednesday night.Catedrala Evanghelică din Sibiu a fost construit în secolul 14 în funcție de locația alte biserici 12-lea. Timp de trei secole a servit ca loc de înmormântare pentru primarii, Earls si alte personalitati din Sibiu. Această practică a fost interzisă în 1796, dar o singură excepție a fost făcută în 1803, când baronul Samuel von Brukenthal a fost pus să se odihnească în cripta.
In 1671 un mester slovac construit un organ pentru a înlocui pe cel anterior, care a fost construit în 1585. Astăzi, mai nou organ este cea mai mare din regiunea de sud-est a Europei. În timpul verii, există concerte in fiecare miercuri seara.

Dracula's Castle - Romania Travel Attractions
Take a tour of Dracula's Castle in Romania -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats.
It is a place associated with terrors of the night and a nefarious monster.
But in reality, Bran Castle, also known as Dracula's Castle, is a place of beauty.
The serene castle is quietly settled in the woods.
Considering its dark reputation, Bran Castle is actually a very bright and clean place.
The castle was built in the 13th century by the Saxons as a fortress against the Ottomans.
Vlad the Impaler, upon whom Dracula is partially based, used this castle during raids.

ROMANIA: EXPLORING the MEDIEVAL CITADEL and FORT of RASNOV ????
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's visit the Râșnov Fortress (Romanian: Cetatea Râșnov) which is a historic monument and landmark in Romania. It is situated in Râşnov, Brașov County, in the immediate vicinity of Brașov. The fortress was built as part of a defence system for the Transylvanian villages exposed to outside invasions. A decisive aspect for building the fortress at its location was the route of the invading armies which were coming from the Bran pass and were passing through Râșnov, on their way to Braşov and other parts of the Burzenland region. The only chance of survival for the inhabitants of the area, including from Cristian and Ghimbav, was the refuge inside the refuge castle at Râşnov. Compelled to stay there for decades, the people of Râșnov and the nearby villages turned the fortification into their long-term place of residence.
Romania is a southeastern European country known for the forested region of Transylvania, ringed by the Carpathian Mountains. Its preserved medieval towns include Sighişoara, and there are many fortified churches and castles, notably clifftop Bran Castle, long associated with the Dracula legend. Bucharest, the country’s capital, is the site of the gigantic, Communist-era Palatul Parlamentului government building.

#Transylvania has long occupied the darker recesses of human imagination. Its fog-draped mountains and medieval castles inspired gothic novelist Bram Stoker, which resulted in the creation of his greatest villain, Count Dracula. His famous literary work caused an influx of tourism into this time-forgotten part of the world.
However, travelers who #explore Transylvania’s stirring landscapes #discover more than just shadowy folklore. After enduring a long and bloody tug of war, Transylvania is now made up of a tapestry of cultures. Admire the shimmering Hungarian murals adorning the walls of the Targu Mures Cultural Palace. Roam among the crumbling ruins of Rasnov Fortress, where the Teutonic Knights defended against Turkish and Tartar invasion. And of course, wander the dark passageways and windswept ramparts of Bran Castle, Stoker’s inspiration for Dracula’s clifftop lair.
Whatever your pace, a #vacation to Transylvania will be sure to leave you completely captivated with this part of Eastern Europe.
For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

Cetatea DEVA Fortress (Hunedoara County, Transylvania, Romania)
Enable ENGLISH subtitle ! - Activați subtitrarea în românește !
Deva Fortress is located atop of Fortress Hill that from a height of 371 m dominates Deva town (187 m). The Fortress Hill is a composite natural reserve (geological, botanical, landscape) extending over 30 hectares. If we do not want to climb down to reach the fortress, we can to use the cable car. The fortress was built, expanded and modified in several stages during the XIII-XIX centuries. At present the fortress appears as a system of three concentric, asymmetric and in spiral enclosures. The heart of the city is located on hilltop from which started construction. Fortress was meant defense against the Tatars and then the Turks, protection of nobles at several uprisings, was a noble residence, prison and garrison. At the time of our visit (2016) enclosure 1 was not open to tourists. It is admirable that access into the fortress is free, but unfortunately, information is non-existent. Fortress history is complex, fascinating, even still has many mysteries, but tourists remains only with the images of walls and with impressive views. The only panel warns about the possible presence of venomous snakes (horned viper, very protected species). Deva Fortress was built from the years 1250 tracking a Daco-Roman fortification (Castrum Deve) in a strategic point of prime importance, overseeing the movement to and from Transylvania on Mures Valley. Over time, the fortress has undergone modifications and extensions as the XVI, XVII, XVIII, XIX centuries. The fortress complex consists of the central building on the hill and three enclosures fitted with gates and reinforced with defensive towers and buttresses. The walls which are seen today belong to the XV-XVII centuries. Deva Fortress is the result of seven centuries of architectural developments and strong political and economic turmoil that rocked Transylvania's history and who can be read in its walls.
Cetatea Deva este situată în vârful Dealului Cetății care de la înălțimea de 371 m domină municipiul Deva (187 m). Dealul Cetății Deva este rezervație naturală de tip mixt (geologică, botanică, peisagistică) care se extinde pe 30 ha. Dacă nu dorim să urcăm pe jos, ajungem la cetate folosind telecabina inaugurată în 2005. Cetatea a fost construită, extinsă și modificată în mai multe etape în perioada secolelor XIII-XIX. În prezent apare sub forma unui sistem sistem de trei incinte. Incintele sunt concentrice, asimetrice, în spirală. Inima cetății este incinta 1 situată pe vârful dealului, prima de la care a pornit construcția. Cetatea a avut rolul de apărare contra tătarilor şi apoi a turcilor, de protecție a nobililor cu ocazia mai multor răscoale, a fost reședință nobiliară, închisoare și garnizoană. La momentul vizitei noastre (2016) incinta 1 nu era deschisă pentru turiști. Este admirabil faptul că accesul în Cetate este gratuit, dar, din păcate, informarea turistică la fața locului este inexistentă. Istoria Cetății este complexă, fascinantă chiar și încă mai are multe enigme, dar turiștii rămân doar cu imaginea zidurilor și a priveliștilor impresionante. Singurul panou avertizează despre posibila prezență a șerpilor veninoși (vipera cu corn, specie foarte ocrotită). Cetatea Deva a fost construită începând cu anii 1250 pe urmele unei fortificaţii daco-romane (Castrum Deve) într-o zonă strategică de primă importanță, supraveghind circulația spre și dinspre Transilvania pe Valea Mureșului. Pe parcursul timpului, cetatea a suferit modificari si extinderi ca cele din secolele XVI, XVII, XVIII, XIX. Complexul Cetății constă din edificiul central de pe culmea dealului și din trei incinte prevăzute cu porți și întărite cu turnuri de aparare și contraforturi. Zidurile ce se văd în prezent aparțin secolelor XV-XVII. Cetatea Deva apare ca rezultat al unei evoluţii arhitectonice de şapte secole, iar puternicele frământări politice şi economice care au zguduit istoria Transilvaniei se pot citi în zidurile ei.
