Füzér Castle Ruins, Füzér, Hungary

The ruins of Füzér Castle stand on a solitary rock cone at the edge of the village. It was built by the designs of 'Blind' Anoronicus at the beginning of the 13th century and expanded in the 14th and 15th centuries. The castle was ruined at the end of the 18th century. Its architectural characteristics include stone remains in lace form. The entire castle hill is a protected historic site with protected plants and animals. The reconstruction of the castle has only lately begun in earnest. A significant part of the castle walls are standing, the most in tact is its beautiful, two-store Gothic chapel and renewed shingle roof structure. The renewed casle chapel was inaugurated in 2002.

From the car park under the Castle Hill, it is a comfortable 15-minute walk up to the castle gate. From here, a steep, rocky path with steps and a wooden path leads to the castle. With resting places. It is advisable to wear comfortable shoes. The castle is beautifully restored with information and thematic exhibitions in every part. Beautiful views. Very beautiful and well worth a visit.

Easy to walk to the top, Castle is very well renovated and up to 2021 standars. They speak English,Hungarian,Spanish and German. Also every room has the displays written in these languages also. A bit pricey to enter, but worth the view and experience

We arrived just in time for the guided tour. The guide was very prepared and was happy to answer all of our questions. She even let us to stay a bit longer than the official opening times. The renovation looked nice and they tried to recreate the original 18th century look by using the detailed inventory letters and books from that time

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
