		Vajdahunyad castle, perhaps Transylvania’s most impressive castle, was built on cliffs, along the river Zalasd.
		The castle was occupied by several lords in the 16-17th century, and finally it was given to the Treasury.
		The castle has preserved a little of the taste of each of its owners: for example, the Matthias loggia on the left side of the courtyard, which was given its name by the tradition that King Matthias had occupied that building.

		VAJDAHUNYAD One of the ancestors of the Hungarian Hunyadi dynasty, Sorb, received the castle of Vajdahunyad (Hunedoara, Rumania today) from the Hungarian king, as a severance, in the 14th century.
		The castle frequently changed owners during the period of the 16th and the 17th century, and the last owner was countess Kata Bethlen, wife of Mihály Apafi II (1690-1701), Hungarian governor of Transylvania, and when she died in 1725, the ownership of the castle was transferred to the Hungarian royal court.
		It is only a miracle that the castle avoided the common end of all the other Hungarian castles or fortresses: they were all methodically destroyed, one by one, during non-war periods, by Habsburg kings, reigning Hungary, Leopold I, and Joseph I, in the 18th century.
