Corvin medieval Castle and the 'Torture Chamber'

in #travel7 years ago

Hello Steemians,

I would like to share with you my experience at Corvin Castle, one of the best castles of Romania, and definitely a place to visit if you got the opportunity .

Also known as Hunyadi Castle, Corvin Castle (Castelul Corvinilor) is a gothic castle located in Hunedoara, Romania

The Corvin Castle, is one of the most impressive medieval constructions in Romania. Many say that it is even more amazing than the famous Bran Castle.
Huffington Post presented him as one of the ten most fairy tale like constructions of this kind in the world.

But...

What i really want to show you in this post is not just the castle from above, in fact the most terrifying and exciting part is in the Underground : The Torture Chambers

Some mysteries are related to the role of Corvin Castle’ bastion of torture, consisting of two rooms filled with the torturing tools with the aid of which prisoners were excruciated to death. ‘Here tourists can find the story of Ana, wife of John Torok, the first owner of the castle after the Corvins. She was accused of adultery and finally beheaded

Despite the fact that it’s been nearly six centuries since it has been set up, Corvin Castle’ building, the monument’ architecture, including its legends, many still remaining unknown to the public, continue to amaze. There are lots of fascinating stories waiting to be revealed.

Foarte frumos castelul, pacat ca pana ajungi la el iti reamintesti cat de departe este Romania de occident. Oricum foarte fain postul :)

Multumesc Catalin...si da, ai dreptate :(

Cruel kind of people torturing each other.
But already learned something.

one of the ten most fairy tale like constructions of this kind in the world

Because it is not damaged I think. In Germany there are castles too, but as they are damaged or the building wasn't finished there are a lot just standing around nobody interested in really.

Keep on steeming ^^

Thank you for your reply @naturicia. In fact the castle is not so well maintained as it looks, i think people can do better to conserve this kind of treasures
