Beautiful in every season, by day and by night … Hermannstadt / Sibiu / Nagyszeben in Transylvania.

The old town and the city’s fortification walls were built by Saxon settlers (the Transylvanian Saxons) in the 12th and 13th centuries and are still preserved today in many of their original features.

Beautiful pictures by Mr. Iercosan Marian from a few days ago (end of September 2025).

The historic gate is shaped like a triumphal arch and is part of the medieval city wall / fortress surrounding the old town of Brasov.

It was built between 1827 and 1828 and, together with the Catherine Gate, is the only remaining gate of the old fortress. In 1955 it was declared a historical monument.

A walk through Timișoara… “Little Vienna”. The city on the Bega River is a cultural centre in western Romania. For example, it is one of the few cities with three different theatres: a German, a Hungarian, and a Romanian one.

We would like to thank Tom & Helga for these wonderful pictures from their tour of Romania in September and October 2024. Many heartfelt thanks!

Halloween in Sighișoara (Schäßburg), pictures from yesterday. For anyone who still has time and is interested… the festival is, of course, taking place today and tomorrow as well, directly in the fortress / historic old town.

Pictures: Halloween în Cetate

Tonight / this evening is Halloween. A tradition that was originally widespread mainly in Catholic Ireland, preserved and further developed by Irish immigrants in the United States, and which, since around 1990, has also reappeared in Europe in its American form.

Transylvania, especially Bran Castle (Törzburg), became known worldwide through the novel “Dracula”, written by the Irish author Bram Stoker in 1897. The hero and “Dracula” of the book and of many film adaptations is Vlad III, voivode of the Principality of Wallachia (1448, 1456–1462, and 1476, probably born around 1431 in Sighișoara, known as Schäßburg in German). Because of his father, Vlad II, he bore the byname Drăculea (in German, “Son of the Dragon”), which probably inspired the author of the book to use the name “Dracula”. The other well-known byname, “Țepeș”, was added later and translates roughly as “the Impaler”, referring to an activity that Vlad III allegedly adopted from the Turks 🙈

Festivals and events are taking place throughout the country. We recommend the Halloween Festival in Sighișoara (free of charge, it started yesterday and continues through tomorrow, Sunday).

And you should be prepared in case the blood-sucking “flapper” happens to be somewhere nearby. We recommend garlic: eat it fresh a few hours before your visit and wear it as a necklace around your neck throughout your stay 😁

Happy Halloween to everyone 🧛‍♂️🥰🥰

We would like to thank Bran Castle for permission to use the pictures.

The village of Großpold, in Romanian Apoldu de Sus, is located in the county of Sibiu and is one of the three so-called Landler villages in Transylvania.

The Landler were forced to leave their Austrian homeland in the 18th century due to their Protestant faith and settled mainly in three villages near Sibiu. They have preserved their language and traditional costumes to this day. In Großpold, the typical architecture of the houses has largely been preserved. The two other Landler villages are Neppendorf, in Romanian Turnisor, today incorporated into Sibiu, and Großau, in Romanian Cristian.

We would like to thank Mr. Frank Schleßmann for sending us these beautiful pictures and the corresponding text/explanation.

The Church of Saint Nicholas in Densuș (Demsdorf), Hunedoara County, in western Romania, is the oldest stone church in the country.

Built in its current form in the 13th century on the site of a 2nd-century Roman temple, it used materials from the Dacian fortress of Sarmizegetusa. The church interior features 15th-century frescoes depicting Jesus in traditional Romanian attire.

Historians suggest the site once housed a Dacian temple for the god Zamolxis, later turned into a Roman temple for Mars. The church’s origins trace back to the 4th century, making it the oldest church in Romania and Southeast Europe.

We thank Mr. Frank Schleßmann for sending these beautiful pictures (April 22, 2025).

The Black Church is one of the landmarks of the city of Brașov (Kronstadt in German), in Transylvania (Siebenbürgen in German).

Originally, it was a Catholic church dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Following the Reformation in Transylvania, which was significantly shaped among the Transylvanian Saxon population by the reformer and later Brașov city pastor Johannes Honterus, the Catholic dedication was abandoned. The church has been known by its present name, the “Black Church”, since a city fire in 1689.

The Cârța Monastery (German: Kerz) is a former Cistercian (Benedictine) monastery in Transylvania, Romania.

It is located on the left bank of the Olt River, almost exactly halfway between the cities of Sibiu and Fagaras, and is today an Evangelical-Lutheran church.

The exact founding date of the Cârța Monastery (Latin: monasterium beatae Mariae virginis in Candelis de Kerch) is unknown. A Constance charter dated April 17, 1418, issued by Sigismund, King of Hungary, states vaguely that the monastery was founded, built, and endowed with rights and privileges by his predecessors. Cistercian documents from the 13th to 15th centuries, collected and analyzed by Leopold Janauschek, mention the founding year of the monastery as being around 1202–1203.

Beautiful pictures by Mr. Iercosan Marian from the end of September 2025.

The Danube is the border river between Romania and Serbia, Bulgaria, and Ukraine.

Near the towns of Socol and Bazias, the Romanian section of the Danube begins, stretching all the way to Mila 0, the so-called Mile Zero, at the Danube’s mouth in the city of Sulina. There are many sights to see along the river’s course, until, after a long journey, it fans out into the Danube Delta behind the cities of Braila and Galati in southeastern Romania, and about 60 kilometers further, it flows into the Black Sea.

Peleș Castle is located approximately 1.5 kilometres north-west of the town of Sinaia, in Prahova County.

Information: Peleș Castle is closed in November and December for renovation and cleaning work. Further information can be found on the castle’s website.

It was built between 1873 and 1883 at the request of King Carol I of Romania and confiscated by the communist regime in 1947. After the Romanian Revolution of 1989, Peleș Castle was returned to the former King Michael, who was living in exile in Switzerland.

The oriel windows and half-timbered walls are reminiscent of Hohenzollern Castle, the king’s ancestral home. Seven terraces surround the castle. Some of its 160 rooms can now be visited. The castle museum contains weapons, sculptures, furniture, and decorative objects from the 15th to the 19th centuries, as well as a player piano. The castle is particularly impressive for its magnificent woodwork.

The Palace of Culture in Iași (Romanian: Palatul Culturii), which served as the Administrative and Justice Palace until 1955, now houses four museums under the name Moldova National Museum Complex.

The palace has 298 large rooms with a total area of approximately 34,000 m², as well as 92 windows on the front of the building and another 36 inside. The city of Iași is located in north-eastern Romania, near the border with the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine.

Snow and skiing in winter, and in spring / summer / autumn, a wonderful region for beautiful hikes… the Bucegi Mountains in Prahova and Brașov counties.

The highest mountain is Vârful Omu, with an elevation of 2,502 metres. The Bucegi Mountains are located south of the city of Brașov (Kronstadt), on the eastern edge of the Southern Carpathians in Romania.

Piata Mare, the central main square in Sibiu, literally translates as “Grand Square”, but is known in German as “Großer Ring”.

Numerous historic buildings are located on and around the square, including Brukenthal Palace, home to the Brukenthal Museum; Casa Hecht, a historic town house with valuable medieval and Renaissance architecture; the Council Tower, dating from the 13th century; the magnificent Baroque Church of the Holy Trinity, built in 1733; and many others.

We would like to thank Mr Frank Schleßmann for this wonderful picture, taken on October 1, 2026.

Bistritz (Romanian: Bistrita, Hungarian: Beszterce), located in Bistrita-Nasaud County in northern Transylvania, is the capital of the so-called Nösnerland.

The landmark of the city is the Evangelical Parish Church, which features the highest church tower in Romania (75 m); a service in German is held here every Sunday. The church was severely damaged during a major fire in 2008 and was subsequently restored through extensive renovation work. From the tower of the parish church, the top of which can be reached by lift, there is a fantastic view over the city and the surrounding mountains.

We thank Mr. Frank Schleßmann for sending these beautiful pictures and the accompanying text / explanation.

Here in September, but also throughout the entire year… a wonderful place for an excursion into the mountains of Transylvania.

In addition to the wonderful view of the still snow-covered Bucegi Mountains, you will also find the rustic yet elegant Amfiteatrul Transilvania restaurant here. It is located in a restored 19th-century farmhouse and lies approximately 10 km south of Bran (in the commune of Moieciu de Sus, accessible via Bran, Moieciu de Jos, and Cheia).

Wonderful pictures taken by Mr Iercosan Marian in September 2025.

On the way from Sibiu to Brașov lies the town of Făgăraș. At the end of the 12th century the town’s fortress was only a wooden fortification, which was expanded into a stone fortress in the 14th century.

The fortress houses a museum, which—like the fortress itself—can be visited. Directly next to the fortress is the cathedral / church Sfantul Ioan Botezatorul.

Beautiful pictures by Mr. Iercosan Marian from a few days ago (end of September 2025).

Valea Viilor, originally called Vorumloc (in the Transylvanian Saxon dialect) / Wurmloch (in German), was probably first mentioned in a document under the Hungarian name Baromlak in 1224 (possibly also in 1305).

The Transylvanian Saxon serf village, initially owned by nobles, later managed to join the Mediaș Seat and thereby gain its freedom. Until 1964, the village was known in Romania by the German-derived name Vorumloc, after which it was renamed “Valea Viilor” (meaning “Valley of the Vineyards” in German).

In 1850, Germans accounted for more than 65% of the population, and in 1977 for more than 50%. Today, only approximately 1–2% of the inhabitants are German.

Pictures: early June 2026

Alongside the Transalpina, the Transfăgărășan is one of the most beautiful mountain roads in Romania and is usually open from mid-June until October.

In summer, during the summer holidays, and especially at weekends, the road can be somewhat “crowded” 😅, partly because it is a cool destination for excursions when temperatures in the valley are high, as it reaches elevations of more than 2,000 metres.

P.S.: At present (October 19), it is snowing / there is snow from an altitude of 1,600 metres.

We would like to thank Mr Dietmar Parakenings for sending us these pictures from the end of July 2026.

Brașov (Kronstadt in German) is a large city in Transylvania, located in the historic region of Burzenland (Țara Bârsei in Romanian).

Kronstadt, a medieval Transylvanian Saxon city, is known for its city walls and towers, the impressive Gothic Black Church, the “BRAȘOV” sign on Mount Tâmpa (Zinne in German), and its lively historic old town. Council Square (Piața Sfatului, also called Market Square by locals) in the paved old town is surrounded by colourful Baroque buildings. The Old Town Hall (pictured) also stands there and now serves as the Regional History Museum.

Sibiu (Hermannstadt in German) from above. On the right is the Evangelical City Parish Church, on the far left the Council Tower, and between them the Small Square (Piața Mică), which ends at the bottom right / in the foreground with the so-called “Bridge of Lies”.

The Museum of National History and Archaeology (Romanian: Muzeul de Istorie Națională și Arheologie Constanța, abbreviated as MINAC) is one of Romania’s most important archaeological museums. It is located in Ovidiu Square, in the historic centre of Constanța (Konstanza in German).

Visitors can discover ancient mosaics and Roman statues, ancient jewellery, coins, Byzantine objects, and gold and silver artefacts, among other exhibits. The museum is also home to “The Glykon Serpent”, a famous marble statue depicting an ancient serpent deity, as well as the terracotta figurines “The Thinker of Hamangia and his companion”, which originate from the Neolithic Hamangia culture.

The Black Church is one of the landmarks of the city of Brasov (German: Kronstadt) in Transylvania (German: Siebenbürgen).

Interior views from May 19, 2026.

Originally, it was consecrated as a Catholic church dedicated to the Holy Virgin Mary. With the Reformation in Transylvania, which among the Transylvanian Saxon population was strongly influenced by the reformer and later parish priest of Brasov, Johannes Honterus, the Catholic patronage was abandoned. The church has borne the name “Black Church” since the great city fire of 1689.

Visit Romania, the land of the Transylvanian Saxons, the Danube Swabians, the unique Danube Delta, and of course… the homeland of Vlad III Dracula 🧛‍♂️

Life in the countryside is very different from life in the cities. It is characterized by family, hospitality, traditions, hardships, and hard work well into old age.

And … it is often a happier life than we imagine. Those who have little worry less, and the many daily news updates of the world, which we constantly receive on our phones (and don’t really need), reach these people less often or perhaps not at all.

We thank the photographer Sorin Onișor ( Sorin Onișor ) for the permission to use these atmospheric images.

The village of Kleinlasseln (Laslau Mic in Romanian) is located in the district of Muresch (Mures) and is a typical (former) Saxon village in southern Transylvania.

The old Protestant village churches mostly still offer small, hidden treasures. Only a few Germans still live in the village.

We would like to thank Mr. Frank Schleßmann for sending us these beautiful pictures and the corresponding text/explanation.

The Alba Carolina Citadel in Alba Iulia (Karlsburg) was built between 1715 and 1738 under the rule of Emperor Charles VI as a fortification with seven bastions.

It served the Habsburgs as a strategic defense point along the military border with the Ottoman Empire. Alba Iulia is located near the highway on the route to or from Sibiu (Hermannstadt). A visit is definitely worthwhile.

We thank photographer Rene Benner ( facebook.com/rene.benner.1 ) for sending these beautiful images. Thank you!

Pictures from May 13, 2026, of the newly renovated Old Casino, located directly on the Black Sea in Constanta 🥰

The building was first constructed as a wooden structure in 1880. In 1910, the casino was rebuilt in the Art Nouveau style according to the plans of architect Daniel Renard. It is regarded as Romania’s most famous Art Nouveau building and is the landmark of the city of Constanta.

Pictures from July of a previous year from Sibiu (Hermannstadt), located in the historical region of Transylvania in the heart of Romania.

The old town and the fortress walls were built by Saxon settlers (the Transylvanian Saxons) in the 12th and 13th centuries and are still preserved in many of their original parts today.

Horezu Monastery is a Romanian Orthodox monastery of nuns located in the historical region of Muntenia Mica, in Valcea county.

Situated at the foot of the Căpățânii Mountains, a mountain range in the Transylvanian Alps, on the territory of the village of Romanii de Jos, the monastery is about three kilometres (as the crow flies) north of the small town of Horezu.

The calls of nocturnal birds of prey (huhurezi in Romanian) nesting in the woods around the monastery probably gave the place its name. The monastery was founded in 1692 by the then Prince of Wallachia Constantin Brâncoveanu (1654-1714) and completed in 1709. It was a men’s monastery until 1862. After the monks were transferred to Bistrita, the nuns came to the monastery. The monastery complex has been restored several times since 1827 and is a listed building.

Situated on a hill, the monastery complex is surrounded by two fortifications. The smaller outer wall surrounds the entire monastery estate with its hermits. The second is formed on three sides by buildings of different heights and a wall to the east. The entrance to the monastery is on the south side through a bell tower with a massive steel-armored wooden gate. The church of the Monastery of Saints Constantine and Helen in the centre of the complex is 32 metres long, 14 metres high and was built between 1693 and 1697. In the vestibule of the church there are several tombs, the most beautiful one decorated with marble and a carved lid, intended for Prince Brâncoveanu, but which did not fulfil its purpose and was therefore never used. The large iconostasis is carved in lime wood and covered with gold.

The square chapel with octagonal tower, whose windows are the chapel’s light source, is on the west side opposite the entrance to the church and was built in 1697. The frescoes in the chapel were created between 1705 and 1706 and are still in good condition today.

Our top recommendation in Vâlcea County for a wonderful holiday in every season 🥰

Visit Hanul Vatra in Costești, approximately 5 km east of the small town and Horezu Monastery.

A typical “cable installation” in Romania, as seen in many cities. Fibre optic for every house and every apartment, installed quickly and at a very low cost 😁

And it practically never goes down… fibre optic for internet and cable television (for example: 1,000 Mbps download, 800 Mbps upload, no data limit, including cable television with, among others, German channels and plenty of live football matches from European leagues — including the Bundesliga, the Spanish league, and the Saudi league — including a fibre-optic router for less than 14 euros per month.

We also admire the technicians who not only install a new fibre-optic connection within 2–3 days, but also keep everything maintained and under control here 🥰 Thank you for that!

A typical Romanian national dish and, alongside it, a typical (Hungarian) dessert. Throughout Romania you can find mici (traditionally Romanian) and usually also kürtőskalács (traditionally Hungarian).

Mici are eaten with mustard and bread or sometimes with mămăligă (polenta / corn porridge). Ultimately, we can only say one thing: Pofta bună! (Enjoy your meal)

… and thanks to you, Roland (Schmid), for the pictures 😊

We were there once again (June 2026) and it was beautiful 🥰 Not overcrowded, yet lively with countless places you want to / should see and wonderful spots to relax, linger… and enjoy.

AND… in one week, the Festivalul Sighisoara Medievala begins—THE medieval festival in Sighisoara, from July 24th to 26th, 2026!!

So, for anyone who is nearby or simply wants to visit the city (again), we recommend Sighisoara / Schässburg 1,000% 👍😍

Pictures from the beginning of June 2026 from Sighișoara (Schäßburg in German / Segesvár in Hungarian), in Mureș County, in the historic region of Transylvania.

Sighișoara is one of the few completely preserved and still inhabited medieval towns in Europe. Built by the Transylvanian Saxons, the historic centre towers above the modern part of Sighișoara, which lies on the Târnava Mare River (known in German as the Great Kokel) and in the surrounding area.

In addition to the statue of Ion Jalea (carved from Carrara marble in 1935), there are three other historic statues on the university square.

The square is located on “Bulevardul Regina Elisabeta,” in the northern part of Bucharest’s Old Town (photos taken in early May 2025).

The 5th edition of our 2027 brochure, “Vacation in Romania,” is in the works—this time with a new design and lots and lots of new and interesting content about Romania.

Available starting in mid-November 2026, and… we’re looking forward to it 🥰 More coming soon!

Photos from mid-October 2025 of Bazna (known as Baaßen or Baassen in German, Baußen or Boassen in Transylvanian Saxon, and Bazna or Felsobajom in Hungarian) is located in the historic region of Transylvania.

The municipality is located in the Kokel district in the northern part of Sibiu County, approximately 15 kilometers northwest of the city of Mediaș and about 70 kilometers north of the county seat, Sibiu / Hermannstadt.

King Stephen V (King of Hungary from 1270 to 1272) granted the town to the son of Count Bozouch. Baaßen was first mentioned in a document in 1302. In 1359, it was referred to as a free municipality of the royal domain belonging to the Mediasch district. The German colonists first settled on the hill at the back of the village; later, the village developed in the front part of the valley.

Thanks to dear Roland for the beautiful photos from October 16, 2025 🥰

Cluj-Napoca (Klausenburg in German, Kolozsvar in Hungarian) in the summer, the (probably*) second-largest city in Romania and the capital of Cluj County in Transylvania.

With a population of approximately 400,000*, Cluj-Napoca is the unofficial capital of the Transylvania region. It is home to universities, a lively nightlife, and many buildings dating back to the periods of Hungarian and Saxon rule. Surrounding the main square, Piata Unirii, are the Gothic St. Michael’s Church and an equestrian statue of King Matthias Corvinus, who lived in the 15th century. The Baroque Banffy Palace is now a museum showcasing Romanian art.

Cluj-Napoca has an international airport and is located in northwestern Romania.

We would like to thank Mr. Frank Schleßmann for sending us these beautiful photos (taken in the summer of 2023) and for his permission to use them.

With a population of approximately 400,000*, Cluj-Napoca is the unofficial capital of the Transylvania region. It is home to universities, a lively nightlife, and many buildings dating back to the periods of Hungarian and Saxon rule. Surrounding the main square, Piata Unirii, are the Gothic St. Michael’s Church and an equestrian statue of King Matthias Corvinus, who lived in the 15th century. The Baroque Banffy Palace is now a museum showcasing Romanian art.

Cluj-Napoca has an international airport and is located in northwestern Romania.

We would like to thank Mr. Frank Schleßmann for sending us these beautiful photos (taken in the summer of 2023) and for his permission to use them.

Cantacuzino Castle is one of the most beautiful and important historic buildings in Romania. The 60,000-square-meter castle park, nestled within the estate’s own 1,000-hectare private grounds, invites visitors to linger and is now one of the most visited attractions, both in the resort town of Busteni and throughout the Prahova Valley.

We’d like to thank Tom & Helga for these beautiful photos from their tour of Romania in September and October 2024. Thank you so much 🥰

The Corbii de Piatra Monastery is certainly one of the oldest monasteries in Romania.

It is located in the village of Jgheaburi, in the municipality of Corbi, Argeș County. It was built within a cave complex in 1512 during the reign of Neagoe Basarab (1512–1521).

The monastery’s church is carved into the rock (sandstone). Next to the church, also carved into the rock, is the monastery’s refectory—a chamber hewn from the rock that, according to tradition, was used by Neagoe Basarab as an open-air courtroom for public trials. The monastery is located approximately 400 meters from the center of Corbi, on the left bank of the Doamnei River. The rock-hewn church itself was carved into a massive rock face approximately 30 meters high and 14.5 meters long.

Kleinschelken (Seica Mica in Romanian, Kisselyk in Hungarian) is a municipality in Sibiu County in the historical region of Transylvania. It consists of the main town of Kleinschelken and the village of Sorostin (Schorsten in German).

The fortified church in Kleinschelken is actually a 14th-century Gothic structure that was expanded over time by the Transylvanian Saxons into a fortified church. The church features a three-nave pillar basilica, a fortified bell tower, and a distinctive courtyard with a well.

Around 1280, the first settlement was established in the middle of the ridge between Kleinschelken and Kleinkopisch. The name “Kleinschelken” was first mentioned in a document in 1318; in 1494, Kleinschelken became a market town, and in 1576, it was granted the right to exercise capital punishment by the Voivode of Transylvania.

These mud volcanoes (Romanian: Vulcanii Noroiosi) are located in the municipality of Berca in Buzău County.

As early as 1924, the area—covering approximately 30 km²—was designated a nature reserve. The main attraction of the reserve is the small mud volcanoes, which are a few centimeters to meters high; these are examples of cold volcanism. The volcanoes are formed by gases rising from a depth of approximately 3,000 meters through layers containing clay and water. At the Earth’s surface, the mud dries and forms structures resembling volcanoes.

Miercurea Ciuc (in Hungarian: Csíkszereda; in German: Szeklerburg) is the county seat of Harghita County. It is located in Szeklerland, a predominantly Hungarian-speaking ethnocultural region in eastern Transylvania in the Olt River valley.

In the Jigodin district of Miercurea Ciuc, the remains of three Dacian fortifications dating back to the 1st-century Dacian culture were discovered. Between 1876 and 1918, Csíkszereda was the seat of Csík County in the historic Szeklerland region of the Kingdom of Hungary. Following the Treaty of Trianon in 1920, it became part of the Kingdom of Romania.

Miercurea Ciuc became part of Hungary again between 1940 and 1944 as a result of the Second Vienna Award. In March 1945, the city was returned to Romania, a decision confirmed by the Paris Peace Treaties of 1947. Between 1952 and 1960, the city belonged to the Magyar Autonomous Region, which was later renamed the Mures-Magyar Autonomous Region between 1960 and 1968. In 1968, Miercurea Ciuc became the county seat of Harghita County.

The town of Harman (in German: Honigberg) is located in the historic region of Burzenland, about 12 kilometers northeast of the city of Brasov (Kronstadt).

In 1211, King Andrew II of Hungary granted Burzenland to the Teutonic Order, which settled there, built castles, brought German settlers to the region, and founded villages such as Honigberg, among others. Following conflicts with the king, the Order was expelled from Burzenland again in 1225, but the German settlements remained.

The village of Rimetea—known as Torocko in Hungarian and Eisenburg in German—is located in Alba County in Transylvania.

This village, whose population is predominantly Hungarian, is also one of the most beautiful villages in Transylvania. Its stunning houses, nestled in a magnificent landscape, and the Hungarian Unitarians* make it well worth a visit.

We would like to thank Mr. Frank Schleßmann for sending us these beautiful photos and the accompanying text/explanation.

The church / fortified church is located in the municipality of Biertan (Birthälm in German, Berethalom in Hungarian) in Sibiu County in Transylvania.

Biertan is one of the earliest German-Saxon settlements and was first mentioned in historical records as early as 1398 (other sources: 1402).

Like every Saxon settlement, it is characterized by a row of houses surrounding a central square, above which the imposing fortified church towers. Between 1572 and 1867, Biertan served as the seat of the Saxon episcopate (the bishop’s seat of the Evangelical Church A.B.), which facilitated the development of one of the largest farming communities in Transylvania, centered around this fortified church. It is a medieval and architectural treasure in Romania that is definitely worth a visit.

A truly interesting idea / accommodation option with a view of Corvin Castle / Hunedoara. Hotel & Spa Werk is located in the city of Hunedoara, directly opposite the castle.

Siria (Vilagos in Hungarian, Hellburg in German) is a municipality in Arad County.

As early as 1169, there was a settlement named “Villa Siri” in the area of today’s municipality. Vilagosvar was first mentioned in a document in 1326, referring to Vilagos Castle, now the Siria castle ruins.

Part of Siria’s history is the history of the 13th-century castle ruins. In 1444, the castle briefly came into the possession of Johann Hunyadi, before passing to Matthias Corvinus in the second half of the 15th century. For strategic reasons, the Habsburg army destroyed the fortress in 1784.

Today, the castle ruins are a popular destination for day trips 🥰
