Castelul Corvinilor (Corvins' Castle)

One of Romania’s most famous castles, also one of the largest castles in Europe, is Corvin's Castle. Beautiful exterior, but in comparison to how Denmark animates similar historical spaces, this castle was booorrring. The interior was renovated in a way that didn't feel authentic and very few exhibits to help you feel what it would have been like at those times. What did feel very real, though, was how Jewish people suffered in these areas. A crusader costumed man was at the gate as we entered, a reminder of violent persecution of non-Christians. In the torture chamber exhibit, the mannequins had big hooked noses - a (hopefully) subconscious representation of Jews as "other" even today.Läs mer
