Corvin Castle: The Gothic Masterpiece of Transylvania in 4k

Ойын-сауық

🏰 Transylvanian castles are often linked to the legend of Dracula, and Corvinilor Castle (Castelul Corvinilor) is no exception. The gothic masterpiece of Transylvania had 4 building phases across 500 years. Generations have changed the structure of a castle from a strategically enforced point to an opulent home for Iancu de Hunedoara, the voivode of Transylvania.
Traveling to Hunedoara, Romania, you will find a large and imposing structure with tall towers, an inner courtyard, colored roofs, and windows and balconies adorned with stone carvings. Corvin Castle also features a double wall for enhanced fortification and is flanked by both rectangular and circular towers, an architectural innovation in that time for Transylvanian architecture.
A brilliant military leader with equally high political ambitions, Ioan of Hunedoara who’s home this castle was, carried and won some of the most important battles against the Ottoman Empire, stopping at least for a few decades the Turkish plans to advance to Central Europe.

    @@FramingReality My friend, as you surely know, history is always written by the victors. But this is by no means sure the truth. This area (Transylvania) was part of the Kingdom of Hungary from about 1000 to 1918, and within this period of about a thousand years, it was occasionally led by independent princes of Hungarian nationality. I leave it up to you to decide how important the period after 1918 is in the history of this castle...

    Ioan de Hunedoara (Latin Ioannes Corvinus,the family name comes from the Latin "Corvus", which means "Raven" )was one of the most important personalities in the history of Romania, Hungary and the Balkans. In 1409 his family Corvin (Voicu Corvin) received from Sigismund of Luxembourg the domain and the castle of Hunedoara, as a reward for his deeds of arms in the battles with the Turks. Surname he was subjected to the process of making a genealogy according to the fashion of the time ( According to the custom of the time, Voicu Corvin took the name Hunyadi (from Hunedoara)) His son, Matthew Corvinus, became king of Hungary. When he was reproached for having no royal origins, he referred to his Romanian origins as the only ones who stopped the Ottoman Empire from conquering Europe.

    @@ArchAnime well, you should definitely include the historical facts. There's a tale of three Turkish Prisoners that's worth mentioning. It is told that these men were captured and held at the castle and received a deal from the king. They were told if they could dig a well that would strike water, they could go free. This was an impossible task as the men would have to dig through solid stone. They went for it and were digging for around 15 years and reaching depths of almost 30 meters. Unfortunately, the prisoners did manage to find water, yet their captors did not keep their word. Instead of being set free the men were murdered, but not before inscribing a message to their murderers in stone, which remains etched on the castle to this day. Their message reads: “you may have water, but you have no soul.” Many claim that the prisoner’s ghosts may continue to haunt the castle since their lives were unfairly taken from them. copy-pasted it from a blog, but this is what was about :)

His father was Wallachian, named Voicu, his mother was Hungarian, Erzsebet Morzsinai. He also was the leader of all Hungarian armies back then. Beat the ottomans a couple of times too with the help from Wallachia. His son Matyas Hunyadi, known also Matyas Corvinus. He became the most famous Hungarian kings of all times.

If you add the letter i to any hungarian name, that becomes "from" John from Hunyad (Hunedoara-ro) Its common use in Hungary even today the letter i on any surname.

During the time hungary had translyvania it was it's poorest its ever been in history, there was little to no development from the Hungarians. Romania does have a lot of architecture from many places, as that's done on purpose, as romania has a deep history of architecture unlike hungary. Romania had periods of French influence, Germania, Hungarian, Russian, etc. We have Russian looking orthodox churches, does that mean the Russians built them? No bud.
