Ardud Medieval Fortress
Ardud, Romania, Romania
Ardud Medieval Fortress in Ardud, Satu Mare County, Romania, was constructed around 1486 by Bartolomeu Drágfi as one of Transylvania's strongest stone fortifications, featuring a rectangular plan with four corner towers and a southern gate tower for defense against invasions. It endured multiple sieges until losing its military role after 1565, later transformed in 1640 into a noble castle by Alexander Károlyi on its ruins, blending Gothic and Renaissance styles amid legends of hidden treasures. Recently restored with EU funds, the site preserves one standing tower and panoramic views, drawing tourists to explore its layered history and underground chambers.
