Hunedoara Castle (in German Burg Eisenmarkt, in Romanian Corvin Castle or Huniazilor Castle, in Hungarian Vajdahunyadi vár) is one of the most important non-religious buildings in Transylvania. The rock castle was built on the remains of a 14th-century fortification and is located in the south-western part of Hunedoara (German name: Eisenmarkt) in western Romania.

The listed castle has many other names (Corvin Castle, Corviner Castle, Corvinus Castle, Corvinesti Castle, Corvin Castle, Eisenmarkt Castle, Black Castle, Vajdahunyad Castle, Hunyadi Castle), which can be traced back to its location or owners.

After 1440, Hungarian statesman and army commander Johann Hunyadi had an existing fortification converted into the ancestral home of the Hunyadi family. In the second phase of construction, the castle was extended from 1458 under King Matthias Corvinus. In the early 17th century, under the reign of Prince Gábor Bethlen, further major changes were made to the building. Today’s castle is therefore a mixture of different architectural styles.

The castle has been in Austrian ownership since 1724 and in Romanian ownership since 1918. In addition to being a tourist attraction, the castle is (and has been) used as a backdrop for a large number of Romanian and international film productions. There is currently a museum in the castle.

The marquis is a typical March 1st gift in Romania. It consists of a red and white string, usually with a small pendant, and is attached to clothing. The so-called ‘March’ symbolizes spring and was originally worn by women and children. The two colors (red and white) symbolize snow and the sun.

On this day, mainly women receive the marzipan as a gift, lucky charms are attached to the thread and as soon as you (or here the woman) see a blossoming tree, you throw the marzipan into it and make a wish!

The municipality of Harman (in German Honigberg) is located in the historical region of Burzenland, approx. 12 kilometers northeast of the city of Brasov (Kronstadt)

The most popular dishes in Romania include mititeii*, ciorba de burta** and mămăliguța***
