A Castle of Paper, Turned to Stone

Vajdahunyad Castle isn’t just a castle. It’s an architectural homage to 21 different buildings, among them a church and a castle with ties to the Dracula myth. The castle was designed to celebrate the Hungarian State’s 1,000th birthday, built using wood planks and flimsy cardboard. As public adoration for the structure grew, it was eventually rebuilt with sturdier materials. Come fall in love with a Hungarian wonder.

    This is located in a park next to Heroes' Square at the far end of Andrassy ut (a lovely avenue). I did not take an inside tour but walked the grounds which are quite nice. The story of its construction is kind of cool. 👍

    🧚‍♀️🇭🇺Hello there ‼️ Is anyone able to tell me what are the original buildings of Vajdahunyad castle 🏰 complex buildings such as locations and names❓ I would like to know the information, especially the original building’s name and location of the Hungarian Agriculture Museum in Budapest.🇭🇺 That Baroque building is so beautiful ‼️ I know that the Vajdahunyad castle’s buildings are copies of several landmark buildings from different parts of the Kingdom of Hungary. The original Vajdahunyad castle locates in Hunedoara, Transylvania, Romania. 🇷🇴 If anyone knows any information, your information will be appreciated. Thank you very much.😇
