Orava Castle - Slovakia 4K

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :

AirVuz contributor Never Stop Exploring brings us this excellent drone video of Orava Castle, a well-known landmark in the Central European country of Slovakia.  Originally constructed in the 13th century when the area was part of the Kingdom of Hungary, Orava Castle is perched on a rock above its namesake river in Žilina, the northernmost of Slovakia's eight official administrative regions.  It combines elements of Gothic, Neo-Gothic, Renaissance, and Romanesque styles.  Orava Castle was used to film the 2020 Netflix TV series Dracula.

Collections THIS VIDEO IS FEATURED IN:

Orava Castle stands on the site of an old wooden fortification, built after the Mongol invasion of Hungary of 1241. Its history follows a familiar pattern of construction, destruction, reconstruction, fire, various ownerships and territorial squabbles. The original design was in Romanesque and Gothic style; it was later reconstructed as a Renaissance and Neo-Gothic structure, hugging the shape of the 520-metre spur on which it perches.
