Füzér Castle Ruins, Füzér, Hungary

The ruins of Füzér Castle stand on a solitary rock cone at the edge of the village. It was built by the designs of 'Blind' Anoronicus at the beginning of the 13th century and expanded in the 14th and 15th centuries. The castle was ruined at the end of the 18th century. Its architectural characteristics include stone remains in lace form. The entire castle hill is a protected historic site with protected plants and animals. The reconstruction of the castle has only lately begun in earnest. A significant part of the castle walls are standing, the most in tact is its beautiful, two-store Gothic chapel and renewed shingle roof structure. The renewed casle chapel was inaugurated in 2002.

From the car park under the Castle Hill, it is a comfortable 15-minute walk up to the castle gate. From here, a steep, rocky path with steps and a wooden path leads to the castle. With resting places. It is advisable to wear comfortable shoes. The castle is beautifully restored with information and thematic exhibitions in every part. Beautiful views. Very beautiful and well worth a visit.

Easy to walk to the top, Castle is very well renovated and up to 2021 standars. They speak English,Hungarian,Spanish and German. Also every room has the displays written in these languages also. A bit pricey to enter, but worth the view and experience

We arrived just in time for the guided tour. The guide was very prepared and was happy to answer all of our questions. She even let us to stay a bit longer than the official opening times. The renovation looked nice and they tried to recreate the original 18th century look by using the detailed inventory letters and books from that time

Visby Cathedral

Visby Cathedral (also known as St. Mary’s Church) is the only survived medieval church in Visby. It was originally built for German merchants and inaugurated in 1225. Around the year 1350 the church was enlarged and converted into a basilica. The two-storey magazine was also added then above the nave as a warehouse for merchants.

Following the Reformation, the church was transformed into a parish church for the town of Visby. All other churches were abandoned. Shortly after the Reformation, in 1572, Gotland was made into its own Diocese, and the church designated its cathedral.

There is not much left of the original interior. The font is made of local red marble in the 13th century. The pulpit was made in Lübeck in 1684. There are 400 graves under the church floor.
