Corvin's Castle
About This Museum
People flock to Corvin's Castle not just for its dramatic history, but to see a fairytale fortress that seems plucked straight from the pages of a storybook. Its iconic crimson-roofed towers and formidable stone walls rise majestically over a rushing river, creating an unforgettable first impression. Inside, you can cross the high, creaking wooden bridge into the Knight's Hall and peer down into the deep, echoing well of the lower courtyard. While much of its current romantic appearance comes from a 19th-century revival, wandering its halls and climbing its battlements feels like stepping directly into the 15th century.
Collection Highlights
The castle's history museum displays everything from medieval weaponry and armor to more personal artifacts found on-site. Don't miss the chance to see the towering Capistrano Tower, named for a famous preacher, and hear the legend of the well dug by three Turkish prisoners.
