아라드‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪6‬개의 동굴

Wonderful views! Not long from Arad (30 minutes) and great views, and easy to access!

I love this location. It is apparently one of the main attractions near Arad, the location is magnificent, but the houses you have to pass are quite the opposite. It’s worth it to come up here by car on a paved road on 2 different hiking paths!

Very nice view from the castle ruins.

The castle was first mentioned as a royal castle in 1318. In 1439, King Albert gave it and its 110 villages as a gift to the Serbian despot Brankovics. When Brankovics lost its Hungarian landholdings in 1441, King Ulaszlo I Vilagos gave the castle to Laszlo Marothy. After a year, Brankovics got the castle back, then in 1444 he left it to Janos Hunyadi, whose sons Laszlo and Matthias Corvinus left it to their maternal uncle, Mihaly Szilagyi, after their father's death. After his death, Matthias pledged the castle and several goods to his widow Margit Bathory. In 1464, King Matthias Vilagos gave Andras Bathory and his four brothers along with several land holdings in Zarand and Arad counties. In 1529 Imre Czibak took the castle, from 1551 it served as a royal border castle, and in 1566 it fell into the hands of the Turks. During the 15 Years' War it was occupied by Transylvanian troops between 1595 and 1615. But the Turks recaptured it until General Heister finally drove the Turks out in 1693. In 1784, during the Peasants' Revolt, the rebels sought refuge here, after which the then owner, Imre Bohus, had the castle destroyed with cannons from the fortress of Arad. In 1849, near the castle, on the fields of Szöllös, the Hungarian troops laid down their arms.

He belonged to the noble Konopi family of Hungarian origin, whose last descendant Baron Kálmán Konopi (b. 1880 - d. 1947), engineer and agricultural researcher (inventor of Konop wheat), gave his colleague György Lengyel full rights and gave him the title of baron . The castle was nationalized in 1948, along with the entire estate, 556 hectares of forest and farmland. In 2007, the mansion returned to the Konopi-Lengyel family.
