Corvin Castle: The Gothic Masterpiece of Transylvania in 4k
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 тра 2024
- 🏰 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.

in all of Europe I find Romanian history to be one of the most fascinating. Greetings from Lebanon
I definitely feel you. Romania's history is a mix of almost all the cultures surrounding it from the Ottoman Empire, to Russians and Austro-Hungarians. It's fascinating to see how Romanian culture has been born and transformed considering all those influences :)
these castles were built by the kingom of hungary as a home for their nobilties and rulers. but as in this video everyone forgets to mention it or just read the history behind it.
@@MTeana wasn't John Huniady who lived in this castle? And wasn't he vlach?
@@su1t0n11 yes, they said he had vlach origin.
@@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...
Très beau château!❤(Osvaldo Cruz-SP-Brasil)
beautiful music
I like watching and inagining the time when people at that was walking around this castle ..today the castle is still here but people are not ..🇦🇫
Definetely one of the most beautiful castles we have! I was impressed and amazed by the atmosphere in there. I think when you enter in the yard is a small chamber, where people were tortured, if I recall correctly.
Heeey, Alina! Thank you, once again, for your comment!
Yes, there is a torture chamber that I decided not to add. I want to keep the content more children friendly and I guess that chamber wouldn't have been a good option visually. Oh, and I also wanted to keep some secrets for those willing to go there and visit the castle :)
@@FramingReality totally agree!
We have? Sorry but romania has 0% for this castle. The Hunyadi castle is a typical hungarian castle, never owned by romanians
Come and visit the city of Iasi in Romania. The Palace of Culture in Iasi is wonderful
It's on my list :D
I have love and respect for the many Romanians i work with in my native land Ireland
Thank you for this video - it was fascinating. Greetings from Australia :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is such a beautiful video! Thank you!
That was a beautiful narration and scenes! I feel transported in my mind.😏
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for stepping by :)
Beautiful.
I'm glad you like it, Robert! :)
So beautiful! Next time I have to visit that! We hadn’t a great weather that time when I was there.
Thanks for sharing a bit of history.
Great work! 😃
You definitely should visit it!
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.
Excellent footage. Thank you.
I'm so happy you like it! Thank you for taking the time to watch it and comment :)
Will visit soon , love from india 🇮🇳
You will love it! And also let me know how it was after your visit :)
Lovely video.
NICE!!!! damn im gonna get addicted to these travel videos.. then i can go into MS Flight Sim and fly around!
Thank you! Honestly, MS flight sim sounds like s great idea to explore more places. The problem is that sometimes the buildings renders fail and there is not what it's supposed to be.
Nevertheless, I think it's great!
Very good work again. Congrats!
Thank you so much 😃
Super !
Glad you like it! Love you :)
Thank you, it is beautiful. You've inspired me!!
Wow, I'm so glad this inspired you! Have you been there?
@@FramingReality Sadly no. But it is a magical place. I want to include it in my article on Gothic Architecture. Any details you think I should focus on?
@@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 :)
@@FramingReality Thank you so much for your help dude!
Anytime!
The castle of the Inconnu!
Hey could someone please tell me what instrument the long haired man is playing at 5:50 and at the end of the video? Please and thank-you.

WHERE I BELONG
Skingrad
EVROPA .. when it was actually european..
All castles and fortresses from Transylvania were built by the Hungarians, and this one is one of the most beautiful of them
OH wow, someone who know History :) Hunyadi Janos was his name, he was the voivode of Transylvania which was back then part of the Hungarian Kingdom. 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. I'm not Romanian nor Hungarian, I'm Swedish, and a history geek. Why don't you just do some research, before you comment something.
@@Bogumilrum I believe what I've learnt here in Sweden. Also in English he is called John Hunyadi. And he wasn't named by the hungarians , it was his name. I had to search hungarian grammar now because you. 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. But I dont see "de" in Romanian surnames. And what logic tells me? That his name was translated into Romanian. Not here offend anyone, but you are wrong. Search the wikipedia at least about the castle. If you're not able to dig deeper for info's.
@@Bogumilrum I know, he was Voicu, I wrote his real name. I call him John Hunyadi btw. Sorry for being annoying, but you started it. Have a nice evening.
@@kirsten1992 Yes Hunyadi is a Hungarian name, He born and died in Hungary .... His wife was Hungarian, He was part of House of Hunyadi, a family of the Hungarian kingdom. He born in 1406. Romania was founded 1859.... He did not even spoke Romanian.
As Hungarian i dont hate Romanians, I have many Romanian friend, but the truth is, in the las century Romania(politican leaders) stole a large part of Hungary, Hungarian Peoples and Hungarian history (thanks for Chaushesku) Romanians still learning fake history...:(
Aha yeah man who told you that, a Hungarian? The vast majority of these castles were built by romanians, specifically wallachians. 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. Believe it or not Napoleon didn't build the Arc de Triumph in Bucharest
Transylvania was a region of Hungary for 1000 years before romanian occupation in 1918.
That's true. It was actually part of the austro-hungarian empire. So Austria was also part from Hungary, right?
Also the majority of the population was romanian... 😁
@@stefangeorge8876 , majority of the romanians migrated in Transylvania on XVIII. , XIX. centurys when Hungary was under Habsburg (austrian) occupation and after romanian occupation in 1918.
