Are you passionate about Romania’s historic monuments? You have certainly already visited Bran or Peleș Castle. What would you say to reaching the village of Vălișoara? You probably wonder why. Well, in this location you will find a tourist attraction that is very interesting architecturally.
This is the Knights Templar Castle, which is over 700 years old.
As for its history, the building was built in a truly fascinating area, in 1325. It is said that the unique scenery attracted one of the nobles of the time, who decided to build a castle for his family members.
In the heart of the Trascău mountains, the Knights Templar Castle is where you can have an impressive view just by opening a window.
Over time the building was turned into a military barracks. According to historians, even King Michael is said to have spent some time in this place.
More than 20 years ago the Castle was put up for auction, and its new owner is Florian Rusu, a very well-known doctor from Brașov.
Today you can even stay in one of the castle’s rooms. The interior design is very unusual, keeping the medieval atmosphere typical of times long ago.
“The Castle among the Rocks” is a real refuge for tourists who want to reconnect with nature and forget the bustle of big cities.
How about waking up in one of the castle’s rooms? You would feel truly pampered.
The owner restored both the interior and the exterior of the castle, without changing the vintage style. The work was done in such a way as to restore the castle’s image of old.
According to statistics, the Knights Templar Castle attracts the attention of both tourists from our country and those from abroad.
Right next to the castle, visitors can go climbing or even paragliding. What is more, they can walk in nature, enjoying the clean air and a unique panoramic view.
The themed parties that are held frequently are also interesting. Among the castle owner’s goals is to create a festival of ladies and knights. Sounds very interesting, doesn’t it?
In the 17 rooms available to guests the classic style stands out, and the natural-wood furniture gives the interior decor a rustic look. Tourists are also thrilled by the four-poster beds, which make you think of a royal chamber.
All this being said, we can say that this castle is a great holiday destination. Spend the last week of summer in an original place and you will have unforgettable moments.
