HUNEDOARA CASTLE<br />

Johann Hunyadi rebuilt the old fortification to the ancestral castle of<br />

the Hunyadi at this location in 1440. From 1458 on, the building<br />

was extended by King Corvinus and further alterations followed in<br />

the 17th century.<br />

When Vlad III returned from a crusade against the Turks in 1462, he<br />

had to flee to Transylvania, where King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary<br />

granted him protection for the time being. As he was accused<br />

of being a traitor, Vlad III was imprisoned in Castle Corvin. However<br />

he spent the majority of his detention in castle Visegrád, located<br />

north of Budapest.<br />
