Báthory Castle
Șimleu Silvaniei, Romania, Romania
Báthory Castle in Șimleu Silvaniei, Romania, is a Renaissance-style fort-castle constructed in 1592 by the Báthory family, who had established their branch there in the 15th century after inheriting properties.
Built with Italian masters on the site of an earlier residence first mentioned in 1520, it features a quadrilateral layout with corner bastions and served as the main home for the Hungarian Báthorys during Transylvania's Principality era, including relatives of Poland's king Stephen Báthory.
Damaged by wars, conflicts like Kuruc-Labanc, and abandonment after 1690, its ruins now stand in the city center as a preserved historical monument open to visitors.
