@torbenslotymckay Fejd

[clerh8]

80% bricks and ruins.

[avvoltoio31]

yes unfortunately most of them are ruins, and i say it is much more than 80% :(, i not presented here all ruin and castle, cause you can see almost nothing about the other castles.

[clerh8]

where they mostly destroyed by the turks or mongols ?

[avvoltoio31]

The mongols not destroyed castles, at last i don't know any castle what was destroyed by them. But the most of the castles builded after the first mongol invasion. The most of the castles were blowed up by the Habsburgs, many destroyed by the nature, and the population: a good example is Szeged. There was a big castle, the city was destroyed by a flood in 1879, so the bricks of the castle was used to build new houses.

@clerh8 Because the Austrians and Turks destroyed 80% of our castles. Hungary was a battlefield since 1300 to 1945.
