Radák Pekry Castle
Magyarózd, Romania, Romania
Radák Pekry Castle in Magyarózd (Ozd), a small village in Mureș County, Romania, is a Renaissance-style fortress dating to the early 17th century, likely built by either István Radák or Lőrincz Pekri before 1695 on a hill overlooking the settlement. Pekri, a notable Kuruc leader in the 1703-1711 Hungarian uprising against Habsburgs and husband of poet Petrőczy Kata Szidónia, saw it besieged and burned by imperial troops in 1709, leaving only the four corner bastions intact. Rebuilt by Radák Ádám in 1732 after reacquisition, it passed through noble hands until communist-era nationalization repurposed it for agriculture, kindergarten, and housing, now standing as atmospheric ruins in remote Transylvanian countryside.
