>>212555476
nope, he was a vlach

is that bran castle?

guess who owns it

>>212555429 (OP)
even more impressive when you realize he built it alone

>>212555429 (OP)
Is it one of those "restored" castles to scam tourists?

>>212555476
It's really sad to see how much historical heritage Hungary has lost to its neighbors who had nothing to do with all that stuff

>>212555429 (OP)
>>212555566
I don't like it.
It's 19th century medievalist kitsch (many "castles" in Europe are that, hey were rebuild in a nicer looking form in the 19th century) plus the "Hungarian" baggage
We should use a fortress from Moldova or Wallachia instead, less spectacular but more authentic.

>>212556392
almost of castles in euope are

>>212556392
Not entirely, but many famous castles in Europe were radically transformed in the 19th century, and people assume this is how they looked like initially, which isn't true many of these were rebuild countless times and the initial form is long gone.

>>212556392
i mean, castles usually are restored to some degree

>>212556467
I have seen some people claim that here and there, but I seriously cannot believe that all of them are like that, the grift cannot continue for so long without a significant number of them being authentically preserved

>>212556531
Well that's why I wrote "restored", here in jeetland the gov is big on historical revisionism so many IVC sites are being "restored" for tourism rather than heritage

>>212556451
Are you also not ok with the baggage of half of your country being stolen from hungary ?

>>212556683
if its done here its because of tourism

Back in the 1800s and early 1900s it was a thing among nobles to buy old castles and overhaul them so they can larp as feudal lords in them, which is where most restorations came from, nowdays its mostly to make it more modern, such as putting a restaurant in it or accommodations

>>212556735
Just like Finland was "stolen" from Russia.

historical justice must be brought to hungary
im not saying about giving back land but at least financial compensation should be paid to them by all their oppressors and invaders

>>212555429 (OP)
wtf, romanians are real!?

>>212556934
>he doesn't know

>>212556905
Difference here being russians never inhabited my country and only owned it for ~100 years as opposed to hungary having transylvania thousand years and way before any meaningful vlach settlements
Other than that it was a great argument!

I heard that Romania has very serious financial problems right now so maybe this castle will be on sale soon

>>212555429 (OP)
I bet a vampire lived there

>>212557053
not russia but sweden is a better argument lol

>>212557148
orban will buy it

>>212557251
would be based af if he turned it into Romania's Fidesz main HQ

>>212556603
Many castles were simply destroyed (or at least heavily damaged) by some war or the other and by the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries they have lost their defensive value. Thus they were repurposed as palaces and rebuilt as such.

>>212556603
The castle that inspired Germans and French medievalists during XIX century was the Alcazar of Segovia, a castle built by Castilian royalty during XIII century, with a Flemish roof add by Habsboourgs during XVI century.

There used to be others castles as that, but they didn't survived into modernity. Mostly because of wars and specially because the nobility demolished them to built new modern mansions.

After Napoleonic invasions, French architects used to visit Segovia because of it, they used to call it the Chateau of Segovia.
